  1. Hi Guys. I’m not sure if this opportunity is still open. If it is I’d be very open to contributing. I run a small blog (www.peakpeformancesports). You can get a taste of my articles there.

    For my first article I propose I focus on Creating Ideal Performance States for Junior Athletes. 500 words is a little limiting in what I can cover, so I’d probably focus primarily on Inverted U relationship, but look at doing a followup article looking at 5 strategies to assist with creating ideal performance state.

    Let me know what you think.

  4. The performance of the players is many affected by the their psychology of their mind. In every game, the players try to build a psychological pressure on the opponent team’s player. This pressure many times affects their performance. Writing about the psychology of today’s sports will be very useful for new players.

    • Absolutely. Today’s athletes is one who must have talent and a strong mental game in order to succeed. More and more at the college and professional level coaches are looking for intelligence that compliments talent. The first two players in the NFL drafter this year, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, both were recruited by Standford aced the intelligence test at the NFL combine. Their talent and mental game knowledge is what allows them both to be starters in a leadership position (quarterback) during their rookie season. They are both off to very impressive starts in their professional careers.

      If you would be interested in writing an article about the psychology of today’s sports and how it is useful to new players, we would love to publish it for you pending review! Thank you for your comment!

  5. Hi Mike

    I would be willing to offer some of my experience to your site if you are interested. I have recently conducted an interesting empirical research study on the best use of self talk for attentional focus among high skilled athletes in closed skill tasks. Such a study has never been condudcted previously in the research literature and it offers interesting results. You may view my Facebook page and get back to me if interested.

  10. Hello,

    I recently completed my research on, Analyzing why youth hockey coaches bully and abuse their players and what youth hockey needs to do to change its coaching culture.

    While my research article is way beyond 500 words I was wondering if your periodical had an affiliation with a journal where I can submit my article and if not could I send an abridged one within the 500 word limit or can you refer me to a journal you feel my work is appropriate. I thank you in advance for your time.
