About Psychology of Sports

about sports psychology, which I have a postgraduate degree says… wake up at least 3 hours before training (I confess that as soon as I wake up I can’t memorize well… waking up at 6:00… 9:00 I feel like it… another thing… warming up… before training I do a little memorization (3x of 4 to 7 objects)… starting with number 5 minutes (but this discipline in the first training is just to warm up and get my mind focused on memorizing) after that… I become more focused and connected… eat before… the brain’s energy is glucose… eat a fruit (5 memory discipline like an apple or a banana during the break)… many people think that they have to train a lot … no… if you train too much, you will have low performance and it is harmful to your health… always for goals that can be achieved… well that’s it… I like sports psychology… in 2004 I thought that a runner did a supernatural effort… but sports psychology at the physical education college taught me that they are well trained with good running and nutrition techniques… that’s it… there are many good books on sports psychology… it’s a subject used In sports, many sports teams used these professionals in the last century. My only sports psychology teacher was a sports psychologist on the professional swimming team at the same college.

About Sports Psychology… the theory that athletes wake up at least 3 hours before training is correct… when I wake up I can’t memorize well… 3 hours later I’m ready to practice memorization and studies too… this subject is very good. . they are techniques… today sports psychology works with high performance (improving athletes’ performance) and laser exercises… warm-up is also important… I like to put in 5 minutes of numbers without commitment… then it’s “on” afterwards. to start training

was yes… in last year

In this case, I meant that they recommend that sports athletes start training 3 hours after waking up. I also realize that 1 hour, 2 hours will improve the mind to memorize. Yes, many athletes, especially in soccer, they are concentrated for the match, and there are athletes in training who haven’t even slept at night. I saw it in an interview on a podcast… A goalkeeper saying that the life of a goalkeeper is to sleep well, to warm up, because any inattention, they take a goal, for the outfield players It doesn’t make that much difference to concentrate. But it will say that sleeping well, waking up well, has everything to have optimized performance. @erikfromholland

I learned this… I actually did a before and after test… without a doubt, after two hours I’m more alert… it’s a sports theory… goalkeeper Marcos said he slept early and woke up well to have better reflexes and don’t go out at night when he’s a goalkeeper because if he didn’t sleep well… he could get distracted during games… now, whoever created or studied this topic was science… as I said, outfield players who don’t require as much reflexes as goalkeepers, go out At night, they don’t sleep and the good ones even play well like that…

Eric, I really didn’t find anything scientific on Google… this was in the self-study sports class that I studied in graduate school and it caught my attention… Another question, I practice memorization in the morning and as you asked me, I felt more willing after a good meal and the body slowly turning on… more than 2 hours… well, it’s in the PDF of my course and warming up for any sport makes the body focus on the main activity… according to my sports psychology course… which are techniques to increase an athlete’s physical and mental performance… @erikfromholland … many people don’t like psicology… i see good it…

Yes Eric… your way of thinking is very good… I want proof of science… I have a degree in physical education and in the field of sports training they talk about these theories… certainly sports psychology works on them… even the videos of YouTubers of memory athletes, books, say that sleep, rest is fundamental… but you are certainly correct in knowing who said this theory of practicing a physical or mental activity after 3 hours of waking up… which is a technique that’s sporty… but that’s it… good afternoon @erikfromholland

Erik, I saw it here in your posts… I have a postgraduate degree in sports psychology, but I’m not a psychologist… only a psychology graduate can be one… for me it’s just knowledge of this subject, which helped me a lot to understand… I did this course to gain points in public exams since my area is Physical Education… @erikfromholland

Now I’m confused.

In the USA, and I think most other places, “post-graduate” degrees are highly advanced degrees (like Masters or Doctoral degrees) that require completion of a four-year college degree to begin. These degrees are intensive and require many many hours of class time, practical study, and original research including major thesis writing and defense.

A “post-graduate” degree in psychology would be the highest level of education in that discipline. If you had a “post-graduate” degree in psychology that would mean you have a masters or doctorate degree in psychology and you would be eminently qualified to practice or teach in that field. You say that “only psychology graduates can be a psychologist” but if you had a true “post-graduate” degree in that field, thats exactly what you would be.

Does “post-graduate degree” mean something else to you?

Are you possibly meaning that you just took an additional class on sports psychology after you graduated with your basic degree? Are you using the term “post-graduate” to just mean that a class occurred after you were out of school rather than a type of advanced degree?

I think he may be referring to a specialization degree, which usually takes a year or less. It is still regarded as post-graduate since you need to take it after undergraduate education. I don’t know if it exists in the USA, but it’s a type of degree here.

Anderson said he has “a postgraduate degree in sports psychology,” but that his area is physical education and that he isn’t a “psychologist.” What I understood is that he took a specialization course named “sports psychology,” which may have been for people who already have an undergraduate degree in Physical Education, not for psychologists. This would only make him a specialized PE teacher/coacher, not a psychologist.

I love this community so much, especially because it’s extremely open and welcoming. In order to keep it being so, I always avoid using any type of mockery, which may cause unnecessary embarrassment.

I’ve been watching this thread for a few days already, and I noticed that some language barriers are causing misunderstandings. I don’t want to put words in Anderson’s mouth, so please let me know if I said something incorrect @AndersonAraujoBrasil .

Yes, that is correct, you need 2 to 3 hours for the body to wake up as it would naturally, to drink coffee you must also wait that time since you must wait for the hormones to do their natural work and not affect that process.

For mental work I don’t think you need this time and this is only at the hormonal level, it doesn’t affect anything else… You can train your memory a few minutes after waking up… I have also trained or exercised after waking up.

graduate degree… Yes Tim, graduate degree that I saw in the translator… also called latusensu or espezialização… there is graduation… level 2 is postgraduate… then master’s degree, doctorate, post doctorate… a course in the modality and simple distance of 360… the graduate, if he has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, can attend clinics if he is a specialist in sports psychology… in my case, I have a degree in physical education and I took this course more for knowledge, which was a subject at college that was my favorite … there are distance learning courses here… I don’t know if they are available in the USA… it’s just that I had to do this specialization to get a higher score in public exams for teachers… in a competition the test has 40 questions… it’s each course like this you get 1 point… so I took this course online which I always found interesting… but I’m not a psychologist…

Correct @magno

Magno… I wake up in the morning in 5 minutes of being awake, I try to memorize 5 words and I get confused… an hour after having eaten, I memorize but not in that mood… after a few hours of being awake and eating a little before I feel ready to memorize … with a warm-up beforehand (a number of 5 minutes) and then the training of the day, I liked it… again it says the warm-up increases concentration… I felt good like that during training… for me it worked in terms of motivation and Yes, I learned that in the sports psychology course, but physical education I also learned about warming up in everything… I have a degree in physical education @magno

I’m here… 05:10 a.m… i wake up 5:00 am I thought of 4 words to memorize… it’s not the same thing as training… 2 hours, 3 hours later… I invite people to test, as soon as they wake up, memorize or study… definitely from here After 3 hours, your mind will be much better for studying or playing mental games. It is also useful for those who do physical activity. The performance after 3 hours of waking up is much better. , Psicology of Sport it’s aimed at athletes, but students are the same thing… those who study hard are practically mental athletes too… I really like sports psychology… they are techniques to improve performance in sports… hugs to everyone

a story… in 1998 the coach of the Corinthians football team commanded by a former football player had a sports psychologist… in 1998 Corinthians were national champions and the players attributed the title to the Corinthians psychologist… Corinthians won the national championship 1998, 1999 and the 2000 World Cup… but the Corinthians coach left in December 1999 for the Brazilian team and took the psychologist with him… I highly recommend performance theories that are not just from psychology, but from other subjects such as : sports training, etc.

That’s it, guys… writing my experience of sports training which is both physical education and psychology… in the previous message I said that I could barely remember 4 words, 10 minutes later, now at 8:00 am, I trained in the IAM software and everything is fine… faster, but more precise, more everything than before… I invite anyone who trains in the early hours of the morning to train after 3 hours and see if it gives results (improves performance)

Hello, people from the world of memory… here 4:34 am, I woke up at 4:30 am… I thought of 4 words, I couldn’t memorize them well… I had to repeat them about 3 times, but I was still weak and I no longer remember. . my intention is to share about memorization, my experience… now I woke up at 4:30 am… 8:00 am I started training… I remember one day, I woke up and I didn’t know what day of the week it was, but after a lot of effort, a minute later it took me a while to remember… even though I’m awake, I know today with ease… my intention is to pass on my knowledge and experience to the people in the group… I highly recommend books on sports preparation, mental preparation to memorize… there must be e- books on mental preparation for sports, sports psychology, sports training (very good material for sports) on Amazon, Google books… I recommend it… memorizing 3 hours after waking up, I memorize it right here and it is in line with the theory of training 3 hours after waking up… I look at the theory and test it to see if it works… I agree and I tested it and took advantage of this knowledge… that’s it, see you later
