Disciplinary research paper
|
My disciplinary research came from scholar Marc Lochbaum. Professor Lochbaum has a PhD from Arizona State University. He is the kinesiology and sports management professor at Texas Tech University currently. He teaches applied sports psychology, behavioral and psychological aspects of exercise, and principles and theories of exercise psychology. Aside from this, the discipline I am researching is regarding the mental toughness that athletes encounter, such as understanding stress management, handling pressure, and maintaining focus under challenging conditions. In addition, I am researching the importance of strengthening motivation and goal setting from a psychological standpoint: setting and achieving challenging goals to improve their commitment and performance.
