ANXIETY REFLECTION - 9th Nov A personal reflection NOT a summary of the research. You should express your ideas and thoughts relevant to anxiety and performance. That is, you should include information dealing with; (a) whether your own experiences with the topic are in line with theory/research, (b) if they are not in agreement with theory/research, how so and/or why?, (c) is the topic even applicable to your (sporting) life?, (d) if not, why not?, (e) are there any issues/points raised that you can make use of in the future? and (f) any interesting/eye-opening/doubtful issues/points raised? Alternatively, you can use Gibbs’ reflective cycle to provide your reflection with structure. This is your choice but regardless of the style of reflection chosen, clear structure to the reflection is imperative.
