Abstract
The purpose of this project is to examine the relationship between psychosocial variables and athletic injury. Volunteer participants from the UVM men’s lacrosse and soccer teams will be asked to complete pre- season self report measures of competitive anxiety, life stress and self- confidence. Following the athletic season a post- season measure of sustained injuries will be taken. We predict that there will be significant relationships between confidence, stress and athletic injury. In particular, injury is thought to directly correlate with stress and inversely correlate with confidence. This data may inform best practices with regard to injury prevention in athletes.
