Team/Individual Case Study:

Each person will select a team or individual to study for the entirety of the course. Be sure to pick a team or individual that you are interested in because you will be asked to gather information on this team or individual on a daily basis. It is best if you can pick a team that is currently in-season so that you can track their progress and any issues they encounter. You can choose a team that is not currently in-season, but make sure you can gather information on that team from their most recent season. You can also choose your team or another local team if you like.

 

Case Study Information:
Throughout the course you will gather information on your team from any available sources (i.e., web sites, newspapers, magazines, radio, television, watching games, going to practices etc.). If you observe practices you might want to take some notes. While I will not be collecting the information you gather I would suggest you keep it all in a folder so you can reference it. Information gathered should include any articles or materials relating to mental training, team dynamics, or the mental components of sport. In addition, you should pay particular attention to direct quotes from players or coaches that relate to mental training. You will want to gather as much information as possible because you will be using it to identify potential issues. This portion of the Case Study will not be graded. WIKIPEDIA is NOT an acceptable source of information in PSY 602.
Journal:
As you gather information you should write journals briefly summarizing your findings. I would recommend that you write 2-3 journals each week. Entries should be typed in a Word Document. Each entry should summarize the information that you found with a focus on the mental components of your team or individual’s performance. You should also include any performance enhancement issues you think your athlete or team might be experiencing and your thoughts on how to deal with each issue. This journal will help you identify the key issues the team or person is facing. Each entry should be dated and included in your final paper. You should start these entries during the first week of class.

 

Final Paper:
The final part of your Case Study will be a paper which identifies 3 issues your team or individual faced and your ideas for how to deal with those issues. You should use the information you gathered to identify the issues. In most cases it will be easy for you to identify an issue or problem the team faced, however I will give you some leeway in how you choose the issues. As long as there seems to be some evidence supporting your claims that the team or individual struggled in some area I will accept it. After identifying 3 issues you should discuss strategies that you might use to deal with each issue. You can use information from class readings as well as outside resources. Your paper should follow the following format:

Introductory paragraph: Provide general information about your

team or player. This can include their record, any relevant history, useful information on certain players or coaches, etc. This paragraph should just introduce me to the team or person and give me any information you think would be useful.

 

Second paragraph: Identify the first issue your team or individual faced. Discuss the issue and why you think it arose. Provide evidence for why you chose that issue and talk about how it affected the team or player. Then provide some suggestions for how you might deal with the issue if you were working with the team or player. Give specific examples of things you would do, or discussions you would have to help resolve the issue.

 

Third paragraph: Identify the second issue and discuss as above.

 

Fourth paragraph: Identify the third issue and discuss as above.

 

Final paragraph: Briefly discuss this project, what you learned,

and how it might help you in the future.
