University of Utah guard Julie Krommenhoek scored only eight pointsin thefirst half of the Utes’ basketball game against Brigham Young Universitylast winter. But she foundher“zone” in the second half, scoring 26 points and leading the Utes to a 77-71 overtime win. Krommenhoekwaslater named WAC Freshmanof the Year. “Thad problems with my shotin the first half because I was worrying about it too much,” said Krommenhoek. “I just have to stop analyzingandstart feeling.” When athletes reach that “zone,” they have perfect focus; they have physical, cognitive and environmental control. Some may even experience time or physical distortion, as when the basket or golf cup lookslargerto an athlete, or when time seemsto slow down. Krommenhoek is working closely with Dr. M. Jane Miner, certified sports psychology consultant, to reach “the zone” quicker. Miner works with many high school and college athletes, including women’s basketball teams at Utah and WeberState, and the Ute volleyball team. Miner, Henschen and graduate student Greg A.
