Abstract

Helping children find personal meaning and improve proficiency while submersed in the value of sport is critical to emotional/social development. Self-talk (ST) is a cognitive learning strategy that we can harness to encourage and prepare children to solve a problem or address an imminent situation, while acknowledging that they mature at different rates. A child’s ST could be helpful or hurtful, encouraging or disparaging, thought provoking or dull, depending upon the athlete’s interactions with teachers and coaches. ST is a skill teachers and coaches may emphasize which will help those students and athletes in their care grow and develop toward their full potential.

摘要

在沉浸于运动的价值中时，帮助儿童找到个人的意义并提高其熟练程度对于情感/社会发展至关重要。自我交谈（ST）是一种认知学习策略，我们可以利用它鼓励和准备儿童解决问题或解决即将发生的情况，同时承认他们以不同的速度成熟。根据运动员与老师和教练的互动，孩子的ST可能会有所帮助或伤害，鼓励或贬低，发人深省或沉闷。ST是老师和教练可能会强调的一项技能，它将帮助那些关心自己的学生和运动员成长和发展，以发挥他们的全部潜能。
