Veeleyds models of self confidence
■ Looks at the influence of State confidence, Trait confidence, the Situation and the Competitive Orientation
■ It was then suggested that state and trait confidence combine to produce confidence in an Objective Sporting Situation.
■ If it is a skill that you have completed successfully in the past both State and Trait confidence will be high but the Objective Sporting Situation takes into account the conditions and the crowd or pressure
■ The performer then evaluates the result of the performance
■ The player then makes a judgement of how well they did, taking into account the Objective sporting situation eg I
crossed well today especially with the wind
■ The result from that judgement may lead to improved confidence and a good Competitive orientation
■ This means that the performer is prepared to try hard in most sporting situations and develops characteristics of approach behaviour. This means confidence gained in one area of sport may improve confidence in a different sporting activity
■ The judgement is known as the Subjective Outcome. If this is good then trait confidence and competitive orientation increase but if the subjective outcome is bad then both decrease
