At Liam's basketball game tonight, a college scout is likely to be in the crowd. Liam is in good shape and believes that both he
and his teammates are ready to perform well. But he's very nervous anyway. Which statement is probably true about Liam's stress? His stress is mostly psychological, and he should find something fun to do until the game.
He is experiencing positive stress that will improve his performance, so he should not try to change.
He should spend the afternoon engaged in physical activity so he can reduce his stress.
As the game starts, he will move from the resistance stage to the fatigue stage of stress.
ANSWER: His stress is mostly psychological, and he should find something fun to do until the game.
EXPLANATION: Liam is suffering from a last minute stress which is quite normal when the person is going to perform on stage or on field. This stress sometimes gets on nerves and affects the quality of performance. At this moment, Liam should concentrate on something fun before the games as it will keep him busy and will also keep him in happy mood. Liam is confident about his shape and his performance of his team so it won't affect his performance on the field.
<span>Liam's stress is mostly psychological at this point - he should find something fun to do until the game, because this will distract him. As he is in good shape and he knows he and his team mates will perform well, he is suffering from last minute nerves rather than long term resistance-fatigue stress. </span>
