Course descriptionThis module explores current understanding of the critical components that combine towards achieving high-level performance. The module commences with the fundamental motivation that propels individuals towards achieving excellence derived from self-concept, self-esteem and social identity. The module then examines how the psychology of learning can inform the application of effective strategies for the development of expert skills. Performers with desire but no direction will rarely succeed and so the module then develops a logical appreciation of the role of and techniques for, developing focussed goal directed behaviours. The concept of planning to achieve elite performance is extended to include periodised plans required to encapsulate the necessary long term perspective
