The belief in the ability to do well in a range of sports
Define state confidence

Define competitive orientation
How much a performer is drawn to a competitive situation
What is the first ‘step’ in Vealey’s model?
Trait and state confidence combine –> confidence in objective sporting situation
Define objective sporting situation
Combination of type of skill and situation the skill is performed in
Summarise Vealey’s model (positive)
1) Skill performed with success previously = high state + trait confidence
2) Good objective sporting situation
3) 1 + 2 = good subjective outcome
4) This leads to:
- good competitive orientation
- high trait confidence
- more characteristics of approach behaviour (need to achieve)
Summarise Vealey’s model (negative)
1) Never performed skill before = low state and trait confidence
2) Bad objective sporting situation
3) 1 + 2 = bad subjective outcome
4) This leads to:
- bad competitive orientation
- low trait confidence
More characteristics of avoidance behaviour (need to avoid failure)
Give some examples of good objective sporting situations
- Playing your home ground
- Weather is at a state that the performer is familiar with
- Opponent is known to be of a lower skill level than the performer
- Skill is simple
Give some examples of bad objective sporting situations
- Playing away from home
- Weather is in a state that performer is not used to (e.g. heavy rain making the ground slippery)
- Opponent is known to be of a higher skill level than the performer
- Skill is complex
