The video discusses the benefits of Virtual reality when it comes to sports performance. With the augmented reality practice athletes can prepare mentally before any major event. Being ahead of their competition and keep guard up in any location. Virtual Reality allows any athlete a sense of security of mental repetition that cannot be replicated in a practice setting. The pressures of competition or games can cause mental errors normally but with VR the pressure is lifted by practicing certain scenarios that will help you succeed. The video then talks about anyone that can use this VR headset even if you don’t participate in said sport the augmented reality can give a confidence boost to all. Not only is it realistic it’s beneficial to those who suffer from anxiety especially in performance settings. This changes my question slightly as I might need to focus my research on one sport. However ultimately my thesis question was covered in this video.

  1. I am fond of how you reference the video but also incorporated evidence and data to backup your claim. I also think that the development of Virtual Reality can be used as a tool for athletes, and your input of how it can ease the outside pressures made me very intrigued and want to learn more. Also I applaud you for admitting how you need to improve your research question because I’m able to get more insight to your thinking process. Your topic is very interesting and I can’t wait to read your paper 🙂

  2. I never realized how virtual reality can impact sport performances! I remember using my friends VR set, and I remember feeling like I was in a new world. I felt a sense of security because there was nobody around. If I failed in the game, I did not have to worry about people watching me. I agree that using VR could benefit sport performance because it decreases stress and pressure. I look forward to reading your paper and learning more about VR!

  3. I found a great balance of reflection on the video and your personal thoughts in your post which made it entertaining and easy to read. I didn’t know that virtual reality could be implemented into sports, and I am excited to see how your knowledge on this niche topic expands through your research.
