How can noise break your concentration? Ya know, there are times when it just does. You see your teammate limping a bit from an earlier hard tackle. You, yourself are tired, and you're hurting from the heavy contact. And today it's very hot. Oh, and your team is down a goal with ten minutes to go. All the negative factors pressing on you are cutting into your quality of play. You've been delivering your best stuff all game, but they've been able to get over on you. Now a ball suddenly pops out toward the touch line after a player from each team simultaneously strikes it. You take a step towards the ball and the sideline erupts in a loud yell. And then it happens: you look away from the ball. Oops. What may very well have happened was that the noise broke your concentration. You lost your focus, dude. The psychology of the game, of any sport, can be looked at as a management problem. In the scenario above, a combination of factors was built up on one side of the psychological balance with you and your concentration, your focus, on the other. You were okay until the addition of the noise caused the scale to tip away from your favor. A coach, players, officials - whoever - must do what they need to do while all this noise comes and goes around them. Normally we can block noise out. It's there, but it doesn't keep us from what we need to do. But noise can break concentration when the effect on our heads is such that we can't do our best, and it usually has partners in crime that all work to distract us. Training in mental toughness can better equip us to defend ourselves against this, but that's another topic.... Good luck.

What are physical factors that affect study habits?
Some physical factors are your comfort level, the noise level, the lighting level, and availability of items that might be necessary to study or to concentration. Physical distractions include things you might not think of - like your cellphone beeping and alerting you that you have email or text messages or a Facebook notification - or the internet on in the background of your computer, tempting you to check that email or Facebook - or the TV "in the background" ... but you know you keep looking at it instead of doing your work! People have different preferences, but typically, good light, a quiet place to study, and a chair that is "just right" ... not too soft to fall asleep, but not too hard so that you get uncomfortable either. If you need to snack while you study, getting some pretzels or whatever and having them with you lessens the distraction of having to get up and go somewhere else during your study time.
