F.A.P. – Psychological Factors
The things that go on in an athlete’s mind can greatly affect their physical performance. Two of the key psychological factors affecting performance are the athlete’s motivation and their ability to manage their level of anxiety and arousal. These factors are examined in detail under the following headings: Motivation – intrinsic and extrinsic motivation; positive and negative motivation; reinforcement: social, material and internal. Anxiety, arousal and the inverted u hypothesis. Managing anxiety – concentration skills; mental rehearsal; visualisation; relaxation; goal setting.
