Lugnet i Stormen En studie om mental träning och dess påverkan på prestation
(2024) MUUK03 20241Malmö Academy of Music
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Mitt val av ämne grundar sig i min egen relation till stress och nervositet. Jag har alltid känt att jag haft svårt att hantera stress och att det begränsat mig i mina prestationer. Det pratas mycket om mental träning, men jag har inte vetat hur jag ska börja. Därför har jag valt att basera detta arbete på ett färdigt koncept. Det finns i Don Greenes bok ”Audition Success” och är en övning som handlar om att centrera sitt fokus till en sak för att kunna prestera bättre under press. För att jämföra resultaten har jag två datum som utgångspunkt; en provspelning och en solisttävling. Mellan dessa dagar arbetar jag med mental träning, för att sedan jämföra resultatet i slutet med min startpunkt.

Mellan dessa dagar arbetar jag med mental träning, för att sedan jämföra resultatet i slutet med min startpunkt.
I resultatet ser jag ett positivt resultat av mitt arbete. Den största skillnaden var hur jag hanterade situationen innan jag gick in i provspelningsrummet; alltså mina mentala förberedelser och med vilket mindset jag tog mig an dagen. Under själva framförandet kände jag dock att jag föll tillbaka i gamla mönster. Detta tror jag kan bero på tidsaspekten av arbetet. Genom att ge arbetet mer tid kunde jag etablerat övningen mer och haft tankesättet undermedvetet istället för att tänka aktivt på hur jag skulle agera. Då hade resultatet blivit tydligare och skillnaden större. (Less) - Abstract
- My choice of subject is based on my own relationship with stress and nervousness. I have
always felt it difficult to handle stress and that it has limited my performances. People talk
about nervousness a lot, but I have not known where to start. Therefore, my investigation is
based on an already existing method. It is to be found in Don Greene’s book “Audition
Success” and is an exercise about centering the focus to only one thing to perform better
under pressure. To compare the results in the investigation, I have two dates as a starting
point; one audition and one soloist competition. Between these days I will work with mental
practice. After the last performance, I will compare the results with the results of the first one.

The investigation shows a positive result. The biggest difference was how I handled the
situation before I entered the audition room; in other words, my mental preparations and what
mindset I had the day of the performance. While performing, I feel that I fell back into old
bad habits. One reason for that may be the aspect of time. By giving the investigation more
time, I could have established the focus exercise more, and would have had the mindset
subconsciously, instead of having to think actively about how to act. Then, the results would
have been more clear and the difference bigger. (Less)
