COMPLETE TO MERIT STANDARD

Henry,
There is plenty of good content and discussion of the impact on sports performance. There is some explanation but similar to your first Padlet, this is less consistent. Make sure you have included all of the content and that you include the impact on performance with sporting examples.

Good discussion and evaluation of drive theory with impact on performance (M2).
Your example for inverted U hypothesis doesn't fit with the theory. Try to find an example that shows peak performance is within a certain zone and anything outside of this will result in poor performance.
Example for individual zones of optimal functioning.
Attentional cues includes relevant and irrelevant although these are bullet pointed.
Attentional focus is included but brief. Try using more examples and discuss/explain the impact on performance.
Choking in sport includes a good example with discussion about the impact (A.P2 and some explanation (A.M2).
A good overview of types and definitions for anxiety and stress.
Proof read multidimensional theory. There is discussion of the impact (A.P2) but the theory itself needs clarifying.
What is the effect of arousal on attention?
Add in the stress process with sporting examples.
There is some good discussion and explanation (A.P2/A.M2) of the consequences of stress and anxiety on performance.

Stress can affect behavior because you are thinking about the hard games so much that you are not paying attention to the coach and the tactics he planned, this could lead to making mistakes, you will end up doing the wrong decision and wont be able to follow the coach instructions. For example Harry Maguire because he is stressed out because of the criticism he gets every time he is not performing as well as he supposed to.

This theory tells us somatic and cognitive can impact performance in different ways and can change the outcome to an event.
Cognitive anxiety is thought of low performance while somatic anxiety is thought to low performance. Cognitive anxiety can increase performance due to increased arousal and drawing performance to the upcoming performance. however too much cognitive anxiety can reduced performance.

The consequence of stress lead to muscle tension as they affect the motor movements. If the athletes have trouble performing simple movement while playing a sport, it could lead to injuries

# data[].attributes.body
the athletes tends to give up and tend to avoid playing the sport to minimise the chance of losing and underperforming because they could face some difficulties that is around the sport  for example a football team are losing 3-0 to the opponent as a defender cost them the match it would affect him and the team because they would lack confidence and motivation to pounce back from that game

Anxiety is a negative emotional state of worry.
There are 4 type of anxiety cognitive,
somatic, state and trait.
Trait anxiety-how anxious you are as a person, take into action on behavior
State anxiety-feelings of anxiety that change depending the situation
cognitive anxiety-negative thoughts, inability to concentrate
somatic anxiety-psychological changes or effect due to perception of task for example muscle tension

# data[].attributes.body
A mental or emotional response  of the body to any demand made of it.
There are two types of stress eustress and distress.
Eustress -good form of stress, some athletes    like challenges and pushing themselves to improve, it help increase their skill levels and increase their skill levels and intrinsic motivation.
Distress-  bad form of stress, an extreme form of anxiety resulting from a perceived inability to meet demands, can lead to arousal and decrease performance levels.

Choking is where a team or individual is losing from the winning position for example when  Barcelona were winning 3-0 in the first leg against Liverpool but the in the second leg they bottle it to 4-3 .This would mean that the impact on performance would be negative because they will have negative thoughts which would also mean that are not focused and lose confidence.

There 4 types of attentional cues these are ;

Relevant: coach, teammates, referees, opposition, position and balls.
Irrelevant: fans, chanting of opponent, opposition fans, sponsorship and stadium.
Selective attention: focusing on relevant cues that can aid performance. For example take a free throw focus on the basket, blocking out cues such as the crowd and opposition.
Divided attention: performing two or more tasks concurrently while focusing attention on lots of relevant cues. For example Messi dribbling a ball, maintain control of the ball.

the causes of these attentional problems are
External (broad) : used to rapidly assess a situation
Internal (broad): used to analyze and plan
External (narrow):used to focus on just on or two external cues
Internal (narrow):used mentally rehearse an action or control an emotional state

Once optimal arousal has been reached, performance rapidly declines at a point of catastrophe. Each athletes has their own optimum point depending on the personality and the types of motivation. Too much arousal can lead to a decrease in performance. For example in the 2011 golf tournament Rory mcllroy had 4 stroke lead at the start of the game, however his arousal was way too high and lost the final round

In this theory these athletes have their own levels of state anxiety, it considers individual and situational differences. After optimal point of arousal, there will be a gradual increase of performance. Some athletes understand that feeling excited doesn't always guarantee you good performance as some of them reach their optimal performance state when feeling angry.

Arousal only affects performance positively to an optimal point.
if arousal is too low, performance would be poor due to the athlete not being prepared, physiologically or psychologically. This theory takes into account the athlete's boredom and over-excitement. For example, a judo player is highly aroused before a contest and less aroused after the contest ended.

Performance=Arousalxhabit
heightened arousal improves performance when a task is simple. Arousal decrease performance when the task is complicated. This shows that heightened arousal will result an increase performance of the expert and a decrease performance of the novice .
Linear relationship between arousal and performance. The higher the level of arousal, the better the performance.

This theory is good because we can see the relationship between the two.
Problems with this theory is it is simplistic and we know that too little or too much arousal can cause problems with performance.
For example if under roused, performance will drop as the athlete might not be focused.
But if over roused, we will make mistakes because we can't look through all of the information we have, so wrong decisions might be made. For example the defender gives the ball away because he is not seeing the position of the players.
