Sports:Nutrition: Dieting: Environmental Cues and Overeating

"Environmental cues might be a cause for overeating."  For example, in a study, fresh and stale popcorn was given to people in theaters and a boardroom.  When it came to eating the both kinds of popcorn, the people in the boardroom were pickier eaters (in terms of the quality of the popcorn) than the people in theaters (who regularly ate popcorn).  An interesting side note of the study showed that people who regularly ate popcorn at theater were pickier eaters when they ate with their non-dominant hand.

Sports: Training: Psychology - Staying in the Zone

"I had a student who told me he wanted to compete.  I would grill them as to why, and it was when I discovered why when I could could coach them in their process.  Some of the guys I would say, 'Remember your goal here is just to do this, and get it out of your system. That is what you told me in the changing room. You're not trying to win this or not trying to lose this. You just want to know if you have the balls, the will, the tenacity to step out into this ring, cage, or mat, and just do this.' And it took all the pressure off because 'I don't have to win because my girlfriend is watching.'"
