4 —The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 4. 1985 Relaxation takes practice By NICOLE MILES Collegian Staff Writer Athletes must realize how their bodies react to stressful competition to counteract its effects, said an associate professor of physical education from the University of California at Fullerton. "It is crucial to recognize your manifestations of stress and the way you handle them,” Ken Ravizza said. He spoke Tuesday night at a discussion titled “Stress Man agement: Lessons From World Class Athletes.” Ravizza advises a variety of athletic teams on how to handle stress in competitive situations. The stressful situation will be different for each athlete, he said, depending on its intensity, how much stress the athlete can handle, the duration of the situation and the amount of other types of stress in the athlete’s life, Ravizza said. “Understanding the stressor (the element causing the stress) is crucial so you can prepare to deal with it, and then being sensitive to the ways you manifest the stress,” Ravizza said. Ravizza said each sport and performance is different, and each athlete has a different way of reacting to stressful situations. Ravizza said gives dthletes “pre-performance rou- tines,” a series of activities used to regain the athlete’s concentration during a stressful situation. It starts with basic relaxation training, and then training with distrac- Delivery Drivers Wanted Delivery Drivers Wanted 1 c VE‘\UVIO m q , Wc arc % FREE DELIVERY a ~o <U 4— > EVERYDAY 5 p.m. - 2 a.m. OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK * LARGE PIZZA for $5.00 with CHOICE OF: - 1 Free topping OS' Q T 5 (U 4-* - 32 oz. drink Try Our 18 Inch Pizza! “the largest pizza in town!" i 128 E.

He makes them practice under stresses similar to those they experience during performance so they learn how to deal with it. “Once you grind it out and can physically do it, it’s just a matter of doing it while the pressure is on,” he said. He strives to increase the quality of practice time by setting team and individual goals. He also uses a “two minute drill,” where a person sets a realistic, short-term goal in order to regain concentration. He also recommends the two-minute drill for students who have difficulty concentrating on studying. If people commit themselves to an activity for two minutes, they will find that they will continue it after the two minutes is up, Ravizza said. To help gain motivation, they should do things that are easier for them first and recognize when they are in a stressful situation, Ravizza said. If they succeed at that, they will have more motiva tion to move on to something harder. He said he also incorporates injured players into the practice to curb the depression that comes with injury and makes the athlete imagine himself going through the practice routine, Ravizza said. It’s not easy to overcome stress during competition, he said. “A lot of people are looking for the magic answer," Ravizza said. “It takes an incredible amount of pracitce and training it’s not a simple solution.” 212 Calder Square II Stale College, PA 814-234-8080 Q.

Ordinance amendment likely An amendment to make alcohol consumption in or on a parked car a violation in the borough is likely to be added to the open container ordi nance Monday night at the State College Municipal Council meeting, some council members said. Both Council Member Dan Chaffee and Council President Mary Ann Haas said they expect the amend ment to easily pass a council vote since none of the council members have given any opposition to it. Haas said the amendment calls for the open-container violation to apply to people consuming alcohol in or on a vehicle on all public streets or alleys. However, the amendment would not apply to moving vehicles since that would be a violation of the state drinking and driving law. “This is a natural extension of the open-container law since we’ve had complaints about public streets,” Haas said.
