Kansas sports psychologist David Cook's job is to teach those skills to Jayhawk athletes.
Cook, in his fifth year as a sports psychologist at Kansas, said that he initially wanted to be a coach, but that he was not ready to meet athlete's needs, such as handling pressure and confidence and a positive self-concept.
Concentration and overcoming adversity are essential to an athlete's success.
"I think the physical ability has always been there," Watchek said. "I just need to increase my mental preparation for the race. Dr. Cook says he was very successful by envisioning the race, the course and the competition. Trying to
The South Bend, Ind., native said he went to Cook because he thought he needed help in his mental approach to running.
He said that about half of the athletes he worked with were referred to him by coaches and that they rarely had slight help on their own.
"I felt I needed training in those areas before I went out to influence my students," she said. "The University of Virginia to take sports psychology classes and was fascinated by it. I felt it need a meet in the sports arena that hadn't been met."
"Since the beginning of the year, I've probably seen 30 athletes," he said. "Some of them are for personal reasons. I want to better their performance."
After graduating from Virginia in 1984 with a master's degree in sports psychology, he went on to teach sports psychology classes and to work with Jayhawk athletics.
One of those athletes was senior cross country runner Craig Watcke.
picture the perfect race in my mind so that, in a sense, you've already run the race before you get there."
Kansas sports psychologist David Cook helps Jayhawk athletes improve their mental approach to competition.
Watchee has run two races since visiting Cook and has been the top Jayhawk finisher in both of them.
Cook said his effect on an athlete's performance was minimal.
"I believe that 99.9 percent of their performance comes from work that an athlete and coach has done," he said. "My contribution is that last little bit. The athlete and the coach are the ones who deserve the credit."
Funded by student activity fee
Several Kansas coaches praised Cook for his work with their teams.
"The toughest thing for a freshman to adjust to is a new role as being just another great athlete." Cook said, where before they'd been the best.
Newcomers are the main group of student-athletes that Cook works with.
"We've had him in twice this year," Kansas volleyball coach Frankie Alitz said. "And I really think we should use him more often,
"My first year here, we hadn't won a Big Eight match, and he came in and talked to us and we won two in a row. I really think he helped."
"I don't hypnotize or use mimics," he said. "I teach athletes to perform and teach their performance and teach their skills to take on the field with them to help players."
"We've used him on an individual basis and had real good success with our problem solving expert in the field so, if we're having a problem in that area, we go to him right away. It gives me more of a chance to concentrate on the swim."
Kansas swimming coach Gary Kempf said Cook was a "hidden gold mine" at the University.
Cook said he considered himself an educator and not a "psychological curu."
"The scoreboard is the measure of success that most people use." Cook emphasizes the importance of the only measure of success you have. What they really have to concentrate on to reach potential as an athlete is the greatest competitor you yourself are。
Cook said that another problem for athletes, in general, was measuring their success by winning and losing.
"Fear of success, on the other hand, involves a lot of pressure in being top dog. Every time they win, you get up, and every time they lose, it's 4% major disaster.
Fear of failure and success are two
attitudes that are often talked about
"Oftenimes, this is due to a lack of foresight and being wined and dined by recruiters, so they really want you to like them until they show up on campa."
in sports, but not always understood. Cook said.
"Fear of failure comes from people feeling that their self-worth is tied to winning." Cook said. "If they lose, the world loses." If they win, they feel great.
"That's why being in the number two position is often good because if you lose, it's expected. And if you win, that's greatest thing that ever happened."
