The Performance Profile Is Perfect
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Knowing one's limitations is completely different from setting one's limitations, a concept brought forth and examined by the aspect of performance profiling. The reason an athlete succeeds or fails in his attempt to reach a certain goal is bound within myriad physiological and psychological elements; a coach trying to understand the reason for an athlete's inability to complete a task he believes the individual is completely able to do must look more toward the athlete's own restrictive introspection when there is no obvious cause for failure. This is where performance profiling helps to provide the reason why some people's self-perception is the single aspect holding them back from success. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
