It is noted that some athletes are more prone to anxiety than others. Amateur athletes are more likely than seasoned professionals to experience anxiety that interfere with their ability to perform in competition – this makes sense due to their relative lack of experience both in competition and in managing arousal. Athletes who participate in individual sports have also been found to experience more anxiety than those who play team sports; common sense suggests that being part of a team alleviates some of the pressure experienced by those who compete alone.
