“phobia” is a Greek word meaning fear. Phobias can cause panic attacks. The
sufferer feels terror when they least expect it. These attacks are often related to stress
or family history. They can strike at any time and the attack can last up to thirty
minutes. Many phobias first appear in teenagers and may continue throughout their
lives. They say that twice as many women suffer from phobias than men and that
around 5%–12% of Americans suffer from the most common ones.

Medicine and Sports

There are also sports psychologists. Sometimes a player’s problems are

psychological rather than physical. For example, a goalkeeper who makes a terrible
mistake and lets in a goal, or a striker who doesn’t score for several games.
Psychologists can help them develop a more positive attitude. Other specialists will
work with players to improve their speed of reaction. The treatment they provide is
adapted to the individual player.

A less common phobia is claustrophobia, a fear of small spaces. Statistics show that
only around 6% of people suffer from this worldwide. These sufferers avoid small
spaces such as elevators or cellars for fear of not having enough air to breathe. Their
symptoms are sweating, feelings of dizziness, and they may faint. Having
claustrophobia may be a result of a bad childhood experience, such as being trapped
in a closet or a box while playing. Also parents with this same fear could pass it on

Telling Lies

Body language is the main give-away when people are lying. Their bodies are very
stiff and they use their arms and hands less when talking. Folding their arms across
their chest shows they are putting a barrier between themselves and the person they
are talking to. These people usually avoid eye contact with the listener or turn their
head or body away from them because they feel uncomfortable about lying. People
often touch their face and neck or scratch their nose when they aren’t being honest.

they do this, they realize that they can cope with the problem and don’t

Telling Lies
There are many tell-tale signs of lying according to experts. They claim
that people who are lying usually have a shaky voice, whereas people
telling the truth speak more clearly and more confidently. Some people
speak very quickly when they are lying to try and convince the listener
that they are in fact telling the truth. Also, eye movements say a lot about
the speaker. People who are pretending to tell the truth often look to the
left when speaking, and those telling the truth would probably blink a lot.
The opposite of this theory would be true if the person was naturally left-
handed.
