This poster will showcase research conducted by Dr. Victoria L. Bacon and Ms. Kimberly Ghiorse, Sport Psychology research team, associated with an externally funded research grant, The Holistic Athlete: A Cross-disciplinary Collaboration. Pre-Season Nutrition, Sports Psychology, and Physical Performance Preparation. Dr. Bacon and Ms. Ghiorse developed mental skills strategies for the Holistic Athlete research project. The Social and Athletic Readjustment Scale (SARRS) developed in 1975 was used to assess stress levels with athletes. The SARRS contains 57 life events associated with sport participation, a modification of the SARRS, with 20 additional questions. The SARRS assessment was administered pre-season and post-season to measure the stress level of participants. Pre-scores were used to help guide the researchers to select which intervention strategies would be best for the athletes. This poster will provide an overview of the research project, summary of results, limitations and recommendations for year two of this research project.
