So check out this simple breakdown of Harvard’s revolutionary research, and learn how to nurture your social life for a happy today and tomorrow."

Sport Psychology
===
Creating a Mental Training Plan for your Athletes | by Dave Kearney | Medium
SUMMARY
A sport psychologist is invited for a once a year talk — either before the season starts, or when the team is already in a hole and needs to stop digging. It’s a case of way too little and way too early or late. Most self-aware coaches recognise that sport psychology training isn’t something that they have the expertise to deliver.
A pre-planned mental training curriculum has the advantage of putting the team in control of their mental preparations. It allows the core components of mental performance to be prepared in advance rather being reactionary or delivered in often painful hindsight. Delivering a self-administered mental training program is the necessary option for most amateur or age grade teams who want to make mental skills training part of the development curriculum.
Apps like Mindset Pro are now starting to help coaches and sport psychologists better handle working with athletes at this level of scale more effectively. Sport psychologists need to be able to take an off the shelf training plan, alter it where needed and make it accessible to each athlete. They can then focus on monitoring progress, triaging more serious mental health concerns.

Sport psychology - inside the mind of champion athletes: Martin Hagger at TEDxPerth
SUMMARY
00:00:00 - 00:10:00
Sport psychology is the study and practice of mental preparation for sport. It involves identifying techniques and strategies that athletes can use to perform at their best, as well as helping them deal with setbacks. Psychologists use various techniques to boost athletes' confidence and performance, such as setting realistic goals, providing positive feedback, and using imagery to rehearse their performance. Relaxation techniques are also important in helping athletes manage pressure and perform at their best.
00:00:00 Sport psychologists are important in helping elite athletes prepare for and overcome setbacks. Some athletes are overconfident and may experience a decrease in performance due to this confidence. Eight weeks later, Roy McAvoy won the U.S Open despite his poor performance in Augusta.
00:05:00 Sport psychology is the study and practice of mental preparation for sport. It involves identifying techniques and strategies that athletes can use to perform at their best, as well as helping them deal with setbacks. Some of the strategies that psychologists use to boost athletes' confidence include motivating them with realistic goals, modeling their best performance, providing positive feedback, and using imagery to rehearse their performance.
00:10:00 Sport psychology is an important aspect of performance for athletes, and psychologists help athletes to relax and manage pressure. Michael Phelps, for example, relies on relaxation techniques before events.

Male Social Health
=In her year and a half living as Ned, Ms. Vincent put him in a number of stereotypical, hypermasculine situations. He joined a blue-collar bowling league, though he was a terrible bowler. (His teammates were kind and cheered him on; they thought he was gay, Ms. Vincent learned later, because they thought he bowled like a girl.)He spent weeks in a monastery with cloistered monks. He went to strip clubs and dated women, though he was rebuffed more often than not in singles bars. He worked in sales, hustling coupon books and other low-margin products door-to-door with fellow salesmen who, with their cartoon bravado, seemed drawn from the 1983 David Mamet play “Glengarry Glen Ross.”Finally, at an Iron John retreat, a therapeutic masculinity workshop — think drum circles and hero archetypes — modeled on the work of the men’s movement author Robert Bly, Ned began to lose it. Being Ned had worn Ms. Vincent down; she felt alienated and disassociated, and after the retreat she checked herself into a hospital for depression.She was suffering, she wrote, for the same reason that many of the men she met were suffering: Their assigned gender roles, she found, were suffocating them and alienating them from themselves.=
