 * Stress management**

“The single most important step in //**[|stress management]**// is for individuals to recognize that they are in fact undergoing stress and what is causing it.” (Brislin; Yoshida, 1994) Denying the stress that one is experiencing prolongs the stressful moment by spending time avoiding the problem rather than delving into the situation. By admitting the issue the stressed person is able to move onto a solution. For example, when an athlete is injured or becomes ill it is easy for them to become withdrawn, however it is also likely that they pretend nothing has happened and assume that everything will eventually return to normal.
