Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-talk interventions should be motivating, as it helps athletes stay focused and increase their confidence. Covert self-talk (B) can also be helpful, as it's more private and personalized. However, having the coach solely responsible for developing the athlete's self-talk statements (C) may not be effective as it's important for the athlete to have ownership and control over their self-talk. Using both positive and negative self-talk (D) is not recommended as negative self-talk can be detrimental to an athlete's performance and mental well-being.
