[[Stress]] is the [[emotion]]al and physical tension brought on a person’s reaction to the demands of life. If a person lacks [[stress management]] abilities such as the knowledge of how to remain mentally calm during difficult situations (See: [[mental toughness]] and [[psychological resilience]] and [[Sport psychology]]), stress frequently causes anxiety, irritability, and inability to concentrate. Stress can also lead to headaches, and a rapid heartbeat.<ref>http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ghr/glossary/stress</ref> Many illnesses, such as chronic anxiety states, high blood pressure, heart disease, and addictive disorders, to name a few, also seem to be influenced by chronic or overwhelming stress.<ref>[http://www.medicinenet.com/stress/page9.htm#Conclusions_about_the_effects_of_stress Conclusions about the effects of stress.]</ref>
