STRESS
+Stress has been defined as the
experiencing of unpleasant or
uncomfortable feelings.
+ Stress is a feeling of being under abnormal
pressure. This pressure can come from
different aspects of your day to day life.
TWO TYPES OF STRESS
1. Eustress – the positive stress, is
beneficial in attaining best performance.
2. Distress – the negative stress, is
detrimental to performance.
Stress affects us in a number of ways, both
physically and emotionally, and in varying
intensities.
Research has shown that stress can sometimes
be positive. It can make you more alert and help
you perform better in certain situations.
However, stress has only been found to be
beneficial if it is short-lived.
Excessive or prolonged stress can contribute to
illness such as heart disease and mental health
problems such as anxiety and depression.
+ When stress affects the brain, with its many nerve
connections, the rest of the body feels the impact as well. So,
it is logical to say that if your body feels better, so does your
mind.
+ Exercise and any physical activity produce endorphins
chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and also
improve the ability to sleep, which in turn reduces stress.
+ Meditation, acupuncture, massage therapy, even breathing
deeply can cause your body to produce endorphins. And
conventional wisdom holds that a workout of low to moderate
intensity makes you feel energized and healthy.

Triggers
There are two basic types of motivation.
+ External motivation comes from someone else or involves
gaining a reward. Examples of external motivation include
a coach yelling at you to do pushups, winning a medal, or
a parent telling you to clean your room.
+ Intrinsic motivation literally means that the desire comes
from within. This is a trait that many individual sport's
athletes possess. Examples include deciding to run a
personal best in a 5K race or attempting to qualify for a big
tournament. In individual sports, there are no teammates
to please or to put peer pressure upon you, as the pressure
comes from yourself.
