Course details
Syllabus
On this course we will be covering three key mental skills training techniques:
o Mental practice including how the PETTLEP model can inform the delivery of motor imagery/action observation interventions.
o Self-talk, including the concepts of valence, overtness, motivational interpretation, and function.
o Goal setting, including the different SMART principles and types of goal.
For each skill, case studies from sport, exercise, and clinical settings will be used to illustrate to learners how each of these skills can be relevant in practical settings.
Learners will also have the opportunity to demonstrate and apply their knowledge of each mental skill training technique in a variety of tasks throughout the course.
