Study Notes
Motor Reproduction
- Athletes must physically replicate tasks they observe to enhance learning and performance.
- Situational approaches differ from trait theories by emphasizing the need for practice to master skills.
Motivational Response
- Motivation is crucial; without it, athletes may not engage fully in the learning process.
- Reinforcement factors include praise, feedback, and perceived success of the model.
Personality Types
- Introverts often prefer individual sports, such as long-distance running, while extroverts gravitate towards team sports like football.
- Team sports engage extroverts by offering stimulation and excitement, keeping them invested.
- Differentiation in personality types affects performance; team athletes tend to be more extroverted, while individual sport athletes often display introverted traits.
Type A and Type B Personalities
- Type A personalities exhibit high competitiveness, urgency, anxiety, and multitasking despite time constraints.
- Type B personalities are more relaxed, tolerant, imaginative, and experience lower anxiety levels.
Elite vs. Non-Elite Athletes
- Previous beliefs about personality differences in athletes and their emotional states (depression, fatigue, etc.) may stem from insufficient research.
- Updated evidence shows personality traits account for less than 1% of performance variation.
Effects of Motivation on Performance
- Over-motivation can lead to negative outcomes, including staleness and burnout.
- Staleness refers to the inability to maintain previous performance levels, while burnout describes a complete loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities.
Attribution Theory
- Winning attributions include stable success and internal effort, while losing attributions often cite unstable luck and lack of preparation.
- Control over outcomes influences self-assessment; successes attributed to effort boost self-efficacy, while failures attributed to luck can hinder motivation.
Recognizing Over-Training
- Over-training is the result of excessive training loads exceeding an athlete's capacity, leading to decreased performance and increased anxiety.
- Signs of burnout include mood swings and a disinterest in sports, differentiating it from mere tiredness.
Developing a Motivational Climate
- The TARGET technique promotes an effective motivation strategy:
- Tasks: Diverse activities that engage athletes actively.
- Authority: Empowering athletes to monitor their own progress.
- Reward: Recognition should focus on personal improvement.
- Grouping: Opportunities for athletes to collaborate enhance skill development.
- Evaluation: Assessing individual efforts rather than comparisons to others.
- Timing: Organized scheduling for optimal practice conditions.
Future Expectations of Success and Failure
- Attributions linked to stable causes foster confidence in future success, while unstable causes lead to fears of future failure.
- Understanding and exploring attributions can significantly enhance creative thinking and performance strategies in sports contexts.
