ndividuals’ motivations can directly influence their performance; this is especially true in the sporting world. Reversal Theory’s “Eight Motivational States” provide the foundation for the AMSP, which; “provides a great way to help athletes and coaches understand themselves and use that knowledge to achieve their best performance under pressure.” – Phil Moore, Sports Psychologist.

Manchester United's March Madness!
A week ago (as I write this) Manchester United looked imperious and unassailable at the top of the Premier League. Two straight defeats and the story is quite different. While they still hold a lead in the Premier League, a Liverpool win tomorrow would cut that back to one point. The real story is not arithmetical, however, but psychological. Liverpool, on the back of convincing wins against Man United and Real Madrid, will take fresh confidence from their rivals' defeat at Fulham today, and revitalise their belief that they can still win the title. Chelsea, having lost to Tottenham today, failed to capitalise on their opportunity to close the gap.
Truth and Veriphobia in Sports Research
There's a growing condition affecting educational and sports research: a general aversion to talking about truth and its associates, such as fact, knowledge and evidence. This aversion is so widespread in some settings that it is taken for granted. I’ve learned from first hand experience that questioning the assumption that truth is a big con leads to looks of disorientated alarm.In one of those rare articles that people actually talk about occasionally I called this position ‘veriphobia’, or fear of truth. I’ve since learned from colleagues better educated than me that I’ve managed to compound Greek and Latin words, which apparently is a linguistic crime. But I still think it is a neat word!
Retired Athletes lose more than the game
On retiring from sport an athlete may set new goals, establish a new career but they may still miss an important key. This key can be the difference between a successful transition or a loss of purpose and drive. I'm talking about the loss of significance, an important human need as discussed here.
Reversal Theory and Sports
Reversal theory is one of the few psychological theories of motivation or personality that takes sport really seriously and makes it a central topic. (When did Freud or Jung ever write about soccer, or Skinner go beyond teaching pigeons to play ping pong?)

Talented Children: Gattaca Calling
Imagine the scene. It is the future, and scientists have learned how to ‘read’ human DNA with such accuracy that they are able to predict our future health, as well as the careers that will be most suited to our abilities. The genetically elite are identified early and groomed for lives of leadership and brilliance. The biologically impoverished are relegated to the performance of the most menialtasks.
Lessons from the Great Outdoors
Anxieties over childrens safety and wellbeing are understandable, and it is only right that parents and teachers are mindful of potential dangers. But children need to be able to take acceptable risks in an environment that allows them to extend their abilities and confidence. If children are deprived of these experiences they will not learn to handle the risks that they are certain to meet as they make their way through life.

Nice post by mental coach Emma James, on how working with Nepalese Olympic Committee forced her to think about herself.
Basketball coach told to stop hypnotising team
I'm astounded at what is clearly a reaction to hypnosis based on a complete ignorance of the facts. Firstly, to suggest that hypnosis detracts from the players being "who they are and what they are" and "It may give kids a mixed message if you can't do it on your own." is complete nonsense - if you're saying players shouldn't use mental training to improve at their sport, then surely they shouldn't be doing physical training either? According to this odd logic, getting the players fitter or bulking them up already suggests they can't do it on their own!
