Anxiety in student athletes

 * Strong delete. Not only is this original research, it also misrepresents the contents of cited sources. I checked two of the cited sources for their applicability to the referenced material. Reclaiming the Game: College Sports and Educational Values only mentions anxiety in passing, in a different context than discussed here (specifically, admissions), and makes no mention of anxiety disorders whatsoever. Perhaps more critically, the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology paper, "The role of approach-avoidance versus task and ego goals in enjoyment and cognitive anxiety in youth sport" (available here via ResearchGate) is a fairly technical paper about the effects of various approach-avoidance goals on anxiety measures. Despite its use in this article, it says literally nothing about medical or psychological treatment for anxiety whatsoever. I have no opinion as to whether an article on this topic is possible; this article, however, can only be deleted. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:32, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. Perhaps the creator could print it out and use it for school, but this is not the sort of thing we do here at Wikipedia. Bearian (talk) 07:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
