Symptoms of stress and anxiety

symptoms of stress and anxiety 


Cognitive anxiety - Is being stressful from your mind loss.
loss of confidence )- This relates to my athlete which is neymar for example when neymar got injured in the world cup with a back problem , he lost confidence because he thought he wasn't going to be able to come back as the same player or come back stronger because it would take long for him to get stronger again.
negative thoughts )- This relates to my athlete because when neymar got injured in the world cup he was having negative thoughts about not playing football again and coming back being a bad player 
images of failure )- This relates to neymar when he got injured because he thought that he wasnt going to recover to his best ability and also not come back and play again.

Somatic anxiety - Is when your being stressful physical responses 
sweating )- This would effect my athlete for example if neymar was going to take a penalty in the world cup final he would start to sweat because he would fear in missing and its a big moment if he scores and if he misses the opposing team wins and this will effect him because if he misses he will never be forgotten about that
muscle tension )-  This would effect neymar because if he's taking the last corner of the games and his legs are shaking because it could be a goal if its a good delivery and this will put pressure and tension on him.
vomiting )- This would effect my athlete because neymar might vomit before a game because the game ahead is the decider on who wins the league and a lot of pressure is on him and his team so this will cause him to feel sick over all the pressure and if he vomits he may not be able to play the game.

Behavioural - The physical acts of being stressed 
biting finger nails )- This would effect my athlete because if its the cup final of the biggest cup in the league and my athlete would be in the changing room stressing about loosing resulting him biting his nails constantly because he is nervous about what is going to happen. 
avoidance of eye contact )- In the cup final if neymar was going to take a penalty and its a tensional moment and the keeper is trying to put him off by giving him eye contact neymar would not want to look at his eyes because he doesnt want to show the keeper that hes not confident and look at where he is shooting because the keeper will see where he is going. 
coving hand with face )- If neymar takes a penalty and misses and he knows its a big moment in the game he will put his head in his hands because he will be embarrassed and stress as the whole world will be watching him and fans will blame him for missing the penalty.
