Factors affecting Performance

 


There are many psychological factors that can influence sports performance; some of these are shown below.

Three main psychological factrs that can influence sports performance:

STRESS     ANXIETY     SELF-CONFIDENCE

The relationship between these and performance is unfortunately not simple, and at times it can be hard to understand. However, we have avoided the temptation to go in for simplistic and inaccurate accounts of the ways in which performers "blow it" on the day—these are worse than useless. After all, why should there be a simple account? Human beings are pretty sophisticated creatures!
