Making the grade
for your peak performance
FEBRUARY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
By Robert J. Kriegel, PhD.
Editors note: Robert J. Kriegel,
Ph.D. — best selling author, former
All-American athlete, and mental
coach for Olympic and world class
athletes — lectures and consults with
major corporations worldwide on
peak performance, leadership and
strategies for dealing with change.
Kriegel recently took part in a na
tional tour of college campuses
sponsored by the makers of Nuprin
Pain Reliever.
To remind you how to be a peak
performance thinker, Kriegel and
the makers of Nuprin have devel
oped a “pocket coach" of tips for
combating pressure and pain. For a
free copy of the Nuprin Pain Relief
Guide, write to Nuprin, P.O. Box

Worrying is the negative national
pastime. Everybody does it and very
few find it is a positive experience.
You don’t think clearly or perform
well when you worry. Your main
focus is the worry, the fear of “What
might happen if...,” which over
whelms you, makes you feel de
pressed, reduces your energy, and
prevents you from getting your work
done.
College students are big worriers.
That worry leads to stress and col
lege students are very big on stress.
In fact, the Nuprin Pain Report, the
first national study on pain in Amer
ica, documented that more people
18-24 are likely to suffer stress and
pain than any adult age group.
Most of what we worry about is
out of our control. You can’t control
other people’s responses, a grade a
prof will give us, whether someone
will agree with us, what they think of
us, the weather, traffic, roommates,
money, how we look, grades, the
future. The more we worry about
things we can’t control, the worse
everything gets.
Remember this rule of thumb:
You can’t control other people or ex
ternal situations. But you can con
trol how well you prepare for and
respond to them. In other words,
you can control your information,
attitude and actions.
Worrying is made up of two
words; what if. “What if.. .they...
say no, ... I don’t get the money,
... the professor assigns,... the traf
fic... The key to beating the worries
is to change the what if’s to “if...
then’s.” “If they say no.. .then I
will...” “If 1 don’t get the money
then I will...” Always change the
worry to anticipation. Concentrat
ing your energy on what you can
change, rather than dwelling on
things you can’t control increases
your confidence and prepares you
for any situation.
This strategy was used by Presi
dent John F. Kennedy. Before his

(Continued from page 3.)
College December 1st and 2nd. The
Braves will return home to the Helms

between two traditional rivals.

College in a key Carolina Junior
Conference game.
Women’s Basketball
The Lady Braves tipped off their
season the weekend of November
17th, 18th, and 19th participating in
the North Carolina Junior College
Championship Tournament held at
Peace College in Raleigh, NC. The
opening game saw the Lady Braves
losing to Louisburg Junior College,
94-73. Chowan was led by freshmen
Lisa Kier with 12 points; Doris Kelly
and Joyce Williams each chipped in 20
points. The following evening,
Chowan dropped a heartbreaker to
Brevard College, 86 to 85, in over
time. Sophomore Bobbie Fluellyn led
all scores with 24 points.
The Lady Braves head to the moun
tains of North Carolina December 2nd
and 3rd in two Region X matches.
Saturday, the Lady Bobcats of Lees
McRae will provide the competion
while Sunday the Lady Braves will be
in Brevard, NC in a 2 p.m. game. The
ladies will return home tuesday
December 5th, hosting St. Pauls
College in a 7 p.m. non-conference
tilt.
Men’s Wrestling
Head coach Jody Taylor’s program
is off to a great start. Chowan placed
third in the Eastern Nationals in Nor
folk, VA with heavyweight Melvin
Crosby winning his division. Crosby
defeated an NCAA All-American
from N.C. State who is ranked second
in the nation.
The weekend of November 9th and
lOth, Chowan competed in the Pem
broke Tournament in Pembroke, NC.
The Braves placed eight wrestlers, led
by heavyweight Melvin Crosby who
won his four matches to win his
divison. Saturday, November 18th,
Chowan defeated Norfolk State, 38-6,
and Chayney State, 35-10, in a dual
match.
The Braves returned to the Helms
Center Monday, November 20th,
defeating the Shipbuilders of Newport
News Apprentice School, 38-8.
Chowan is undefeated in dual matches
with a spotless 3-0 record. Coach
Taylor will send his grapplers back in
to action November 29th in
Wilkesboro, NC, taking on Wilkes
and Gardner-Webb Colleges in a dual
match.
press conferences Kennedy and his
aides anticipated any possible ques
tion or situation that might arise and
developed answers for them.
Whether a reporter asked about the
Viet Nam War, the economy or civil
rights, Kennedy was prepared.
Likewise, in a job interview, in
stead of worrying whether or not the
potential employer will ask about
your grades, anticipate that he or she
will. Then mentally list wins, accom
plishments and qualifications that
your course grades might not reflect.
Get into the habit of anticipating
prior to any pressure situation,
whether it’s an exam, an interview,
a date or a tennis serve. Make a
“worry list” then change each worry
(what if) to an anticipation (if...
then). Leaving your worries behind
by focusing on what you can control
enables you to concentrate your
energy and perform at peak levels.
