Book excerpt: Sports Psychology involves the application of cognitive and behavioral principles to enhance agility, speed, and competitive results. Managing Cognitive Anxiety During Sport Performance (MASP-E) is a brief, web-based cognitive behavioral intervention that focuses on improving self-regulation skills and reducing anxiety in college athletes. The program was developed in response to a need for a relatively easy-to-administer intervention that could be used to reduce the debilitating effects that anxiety can have on sport performance. MASP-E targets collegiate athletes who may be facing the overwhelming demands and challenges of young adulthood concomitant with the pressures of performing well in college-level sport competition.
