I know list Specific to a certain context, not the same as self esteem. Does not match actual ability. Strengthens bolsters self efficacy. Something to focus on for confidence.
Motivational frame
Wayne technique
Focus on how athlete will hold up to pressure
Honor privilege, not keep pushing and pushing, no got to, you GET to. Motivational. I agree
Why do some handle pressured and others not?
Mayo not hold up, but genetic factor.
Dopamine braeakdaown in brain.
Preforontal cortex flooded with dopamine, effect whether it is rapidly or slowly reduced. Some ppl, have a variant where there is slow or fast uptake of dopamine, slow uptake is beneficial, but under pressure want fast uptake.
Ex. SAT, girl 15, not handling stress well. Slow uptake of dopamine. Coftg
Superstitions can be helpful.
Genetic marker
Taiwan competency test, sample of blood, had gene, quick uptake performed better.
Navy pilots: subsequent research turns out slow uptake could be disadvantageous, if those getter aiming and are very we ll prepared they do just fine. Fate is not sealed by this gene. More imp. To have practise and training how to manage stress.
Jeremy Jamison studies
Ok think differently about stress. Practise test. Think stress beneficial and can interpret stress as something will help them, these students did better. Two month later also did better.
