Psychological ways of controlling stress

We have looked at two main theories and techniques - Stress inoculation training and Hardiness training. You might be interested in the links below.

The first one is how athletes can use SIT to help them to get into the zone and stay focused when under stress. It helps then to earn how to 'inoculate' their stress, and take mental charge of their performances. I think it might help explain some of the differences between SIT and Hardiness training.

The second one is a coaching website offering hardiness training - should give some insight into what this is. The link is

Finally there is a link here to a very useful revision guide to unit 2 - it comes from Psychade (the link can be found in the list of links on the right hand side of the blog) and I think you'll find other modules summaries there too.
