What's In Your Head, What's Around You

Two players have identical skill — why does only one perform under pressure? Skill classification as two continuums at once, drawn as a labelled quadrant so a free throw and a rugby tackle sit where they belong; SMART targets; the four kinds of guidance and both kinds of feedback; and mental preparation. A second figure draws performance against arousal as one curve, because too little and too much both cost performance — and a table defines arousal, anxiety and aggression, the DfE's own three examples of psychological control. Then the socio-cultural half: engagement patterns by age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic group and disability; commercialisation; sportsmanship, gamesmanship and doping. Thirteen terms, a worked goal rewrite, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
