Bring sport psychology into your classroom

Choose one learning outcome and one local sporting situation. Ask learners to explain their reasoning before comparing interpretations. The same case can support introductory identification or more advanced critique without treating one formulation as the only possible answer.

YOUR LEARNING SEQUENCE

Understand. Try. Reflect.

Keep one sporting example in mind as you move between the modules.

    Confidence & Self-Efficacy

    Teach precise concepts with a worked example

    Confidence is a broad belief in one’s capability, while self-efficacy concerns belief about performing a particular task in a particular situation.

    Try this

    Use the 400 m activity, then ask learners to distinguish the task, context and evidence.

    Self-Talk

    Discuss why a cue fits a particular task

    Self-talk includes the words and phrases athletes direct toward themselves, whether spoken aloud or experienced internally.

    Pre-Performance Routines

    Move from a plan to an evaluation

    A pre-performance routine is a deliberately practised sequence of thoughts and actions used immediately before executing a specific skill.

    Try this

    Ask groups to design a routine, justify each step and specify how they would evaluate it.
