Why is it that some people are more prone to performance slumps than others? Why is it that some ones performance levels fluctuate wildly across time more so than others despite there being no apparent change in skill level? This module will explore direct and interactive relationships between personality, psychological resources, emotions, cognition's upon preparation and performing under pressure. Using information gathered from a variety of sources (self-report questionnaire data, observational data, performance data, interview data) you will design a bespoke intervention for a client that will help them to perform at a more consistent level across time.
Cynnwys cwrs
The content will be based around aspects of personalty, psychological skills, cognition's, emotional and behavioural regulation, leadership and the training environment, mental toughness, mentally tough behaviour in training and competition, resilience, and performance.

Students should be able to present an outstanding in-depth and critical discussion of the underlying theories and models covered in the course work. They will be able to use their deep understanding to demonstrate how theories surrounding individual difference in performance psychology can aid individual performance. In addition, they will develop a critical understanding of applied interventions and justifying their use in their own intervention work and the athletes profile.

Students should be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the underlying theories and models covered in the course work. They then must demonstrate that they can apply these theories surrounding training and performance slumps. They will then be able to demonstrate knowledge of applied interventions based on sound theoretical research to alleviate such negative effects and justify their use.

Students should be able to present a very good discussion of the underlying theories and models covered in the course work. They then must demonstrate that they can apply these theories to individual athletes. In addition, they will demonstrate a very good knowledge of applied interventions based on sound theoretical research to alleviate such negative effects in training and competition and justify their use.
Canlyniad dysgu
-
Demonstrate your ability to design a research driven intervention that will minimise the likelihood of impaired performance under pressure. This intervention should comprise of both individualised social-support psych skills interventions (i.e., more soft skills in nature) and training drills and practices (i.e., more hard skills in nature).
-
Critically assess and evaluate a clients psychological profile in relation to personality, mental toughness, mentally tough behaviour, cognitions, self-regulation, and psychological skills and show how this might influence performing under pressure.
-
Analyze critical information via a triangulation of methods (performance data, observational data, and questionnaire data) that will allow you to make an informed judgement about an individual's ability to perform under pressure.

ASTUDIAETH ACHOS | Individual overview and intervention | a. Develop a holistic understanding of the individual using principles from psychophysiology, neuroscience, personality psychology and sport psychology. Provide a brief summary of what the person looks like. What looks normal, what doesn’t? What characteristics look good for sports performance, which ones don’t? b. Predict the processes most likely to occur for this individual in high-pressure scenarios. Explain with reference to performance, what has the potential to go wrong? c. Design bespoke interventions in order to minimise the likelihood of impaired performance under pressure. These interventions should comprise of both individualised social-support psych skills interventions (i.e., more soft skills in nature) and training drills and practices (i.e., more hard skills in nature). |
