HPF

So I'm in this psychology class "Research Methods" and the point of the whole class is to write a research proposal. My hypothesis is that mental training sessions will elevate athletic performance while decreasing levels of anxiety. I've done some research on the topic - biofeedback, mental techniques to improve performance, etc. - and I'd encourage anyone to look into this stuff. In my design I'm using biofeedback to monitor heart rate and using techniques to help learn to control it (that's the dumbed down version). Anyway, I'm signed up for the "Optimal Performance" seminar next semester so I hope it's something worthwhile.

OH! Chuck... I need to actually apply for the Human Performance major, and I need a professional "non-faculty" reference. Does faculty include everyone that works at NDSU or who would be good for this?
