A2 PE - Anxiety
Anxiety:
A natural reaction to the threat in the environment - part of our preparation for flight or fight.
It has 3 dimensions:
Cognitive - worry and negative feelings about your own performance
Somatic - Physiological symptoms such as raised heart rate, increased perspiration, shortness of breath
Behavioural - experience tension, agitation and restlessness
Sports Performers can suffer from two types of anxiety linked to performance:
State Anxiety: situation specific and can be likened to a particular role (such as penalty taking), place or level of competition
Trait anxiety - which is a general and enduring feeling of apprehension.

A2 PE - Self Efficacy Judgements
Self Efficacy:
The basic idea behind the Self-Efficacy Theory is that performance and motivation are in part determined by how effective people believe they can be (Bandura, 1982; as cited in Redmond, 2010). The theory is clearly illustrated in the following quote by Mahatma Gandhi:
"If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Gandhi
People who can have some influence over the performer
EG: Coach, Parent, Peer Athletes etc.

"People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it."
- Albert Bandura
