It is important to note that all of the forms and tables needed for creating this model are provided in the book, as well as a more detailed explanation about implementing this program. This model is only one part of the book. A chapter called Competitive Anxiety analyses how anxiety affects performance. Contrary to traditional theories that always aimed at reducing anxiety, the researchers claim that many athletes benefit from some level of anxiety. Again they refer to the IZOF model and say that each individual athlete has to find his own optimal level.
Subsequent chapters examine such emotions as anger, joy, fun and flow.
The book supplies various methods for measuring anger, something that is not very practical for a basketball coach. However, the book also provides the coach, through his communication with players, methods for controlling aggression and anger. On a more positive note, the state of flow is also described and explained. This is what is referred to in basketball jargon as being in a zone. What is unique about this chapter, is that it highlights a positive element in sports psychology, whereas the rest of the book deals more with preventing or repairing a negative situation.
