choose one of the following dimensions and explain to other students what is occurring with this type of focus and how it can be corrected:

• broad-external
• narrow-external
• broad-internal
• narrow internal

Part two of the summary should be an investigation and sharing of information that can help improve concentration and focus. For example, Karageorghis & Terry (2011) list the following ways to increase concentration:

• Simulation Training- doing things in practice in exactly the same ways as they will be done in competition, while also anticipating potential mishaps. Creating similar sensations as game day are important because winning and losing often result from small issues. An example offered by the reading includes, practicing in game uniform or creating a competition environment in practice.
• Pre-Event Routines- the same as a pre-match ritual or pre-race action plan, it involves a standardized series of behaviors that help to ease anxiety and to focus attention prior to completion.
• Race Plans- adopting tactics that are likely to bring about the best results for you.
• Centering- a technique that is particularly useful for controlling physiological arousal and for ignoring negative and task-irrelevant stimuli from Robert Niderrer (1970s) involving focusing attention on the center of your body, the area just behind your navel. If you are centered when your body weight is distributed about eh center of your body in a way that feels comfortable, your body seems to communicate that it is primed and ready to perform; due to its calming and controlling effect.
• Cue Words- Verbalizing important cues of particular situations, these serve as verbal anchors and can direct your attention to critical performance-related information. The cue words must be personalized to help you embrace them easily into your competition routine.
• Triggers- an action, phrase, or stimulus that reminds you of the need to focus, these assist to focus attention on cues in the game.
• Responding to Errors- All sports people make errors during performance, it is unavoidable. All mistakes are followed by an initial emotional reaction, usually a mixture of dejection and anger, which if very often accompanied by internal name calling (chastising your abilities and making focus of the sloppiness in the mistake). The self-recrimination usually continues silently as your replay and analyze the mistake, planting seeds of self-doubt and sometimes the original error magnifies and reproduces itself because your attention becomes internally focused, locked in your own thoughts and feelings. Forced or unforced errors in sport can lead to dramatic lapses in concentration that in turn upset performance. When an error threatens performance try to "park it" and move forward remaining in the here and now!

Other Future Developments in Concentration Training include:

• Video games
• Portable electrodermal feedback devices
• Eye training equipment
• Eye scanners
• Eye training and concentration software
• Visual occlusion

find at least two informational sources based on two of the suggested concentration or focus improvement techniques listed above. For example, students might find a video explaining visual occlusion training and then a website article on pre-performance routines.
