Abstract
This capstone project will aim to outline influential and important aspects of performance anxiety in sport. Athletes and performance anxiety in sport are synonymous; there is not one without the other. However, athletes can experience performance anxiety in incredibly diverse ways, which is dependent on a number of factors outlined throughout this paper. Along with an investigation of the conceptualization of performance anxiety, some of the most effective interventions for managing the effects of performance anxiety will be featured. My hope is that this paper will not only inform practitioners who work with athletes and performance anxiety, but also serve as a useful tool for anyone who is involved in sport, including athletes themselves.
