Elena is the head coach of a national biathlon development squad. Her athletes excel during the high-intensity cross-country skiing segments but frequently drop rankings due to poor shooting accuracy at the rifle range. Elena notices that when the athletes transition from skiing to shooting under high pressure, their elevated physical arousal and cognitive anxiety cause shaky hands and rushed, inaccurate shots.
Outline at least one somatic technique and at least one cognitive technique a sports psychologist might suggest to Elena to help her biathletes manage their arousal and anxiety at the shooting range.
