Psychological factors impacting performance

Assignment Guidelines

A book called Keep Your Eyes off the Ball came out a few years ago. It completely changed the way I watched football, highlighting what to pay attention to besides the ball. The purpose of these observations is to help you develop skills to pay attention to the psychological factors that are occurring and their impact on performance.

Sporting/Performance Observation #1

Attend one separate sporting or performance event (Note: Your children’s events cannot be used.)
These events can include youth, recreational, or professional sports events, as well as recitals or musical performances, basically, anything where a level of performance can be observed
