Blog 5 and interview questions

                                                            Part 1

            How could one tell the amount of focus needed and the severity of a positive mindset has on an athlete in a stressful period of their performance?

         I choose this person because they have an understanding and the mindset of what it takes to be an athlete. So this person can elaborate on my topic and also speak on my critical question. This will not only have my perspective on the topic but someone else’s as well.

         Studying this person will give some insight on the thinking process of being an athlete and also give information on why its important to never lose focus during a game and how to prevent from losing focus.


I will be studying the mental aspect of this person and have them explained what they think it takes to be focus during a game.


         I know this person as a good friend of mine. We just started our relationship recently since we have started college together. H e is as also my classmates.
