Order Description
“I get nervous when I do bits of training so when I am back in that environment and with a crowd of people watching and some really fast girls in the race I am going to be nervous. I’m nervous just talking about it” (Jessica Ennis-Hill, 2015). Critically discuss this quote using the cusp catastrophe model of anxiety and performance (Hardy & Fazey, 1987) and related research highlighting the impact of anxiety symptoms on sport performance.
