How does music affect athletic accuracy?

Music can have a significant impact on the athlete. Music is said to be a gateway to ones soul, so what better way to get in touch with your inner abilities? Athletes are always wearing their Ipods and jamming out in the locker room before games. Music is motivating, soothing, and can induce feelings of emotion that an athlete can use to their advantage. Music chosen by an athlete has a positive impact because it instills something that they use for fuel. Just like people listen to different types of music for different moods, athletes do the same.
