List any supporting references or resources here.

Example: John Doe will decrease feelings of anxiety prior to competitive swimming meets.

Example: John reported that he is experiencing panic attacks (including difficulty breathing and nausea) prior to every competitive meet. In collaborating with John, he describes the panic attacks as creating the most significant challenge to his successful swimming career.

Example:

· Self-talk

· Visual Imagery

Example: John will report experiencing less anxiety each week based on a rating scale of 1–10. This is an easy system that will allow John to monitor his own improvement.

Example: According to Murphy (2005) self-talk can be a tool in gaining control of one’s thoughts. Additionally, a study conducted by Hardy, Hall and Hardy (2003) also supported the use of self-talk to decrease anxiety and relax prior to performance.
