Self-Efficacy A Quick Intro ๐
-
What is it?
Think of it like your own superhero cape! It's your belief in your ability to succeed in specific situations or tasks. The stronger the belief, the higher you'll fly! -
Antecedent:
Think of it like a sidekick. These are the pre-existing factors that give your superhero cape its power. In other words, they boost your self-efficacy.
Performance Accomplishments Your Super Feats ๐ฅ
-
Potent Antecedent: Morriss & Summers (1995) say performance accomplishments are like the super boosters for self-efficacy.
-
Understanding an Athlete:
- Performance Profiling: A cool technique that peeks into an athlete's mind. Like a survey, but way cooler. It lets athletes define their strengths and areas for growth. Think of it like customizing your superhero gear!
- Why it's Different: Unlike generic questionnaires that slot you into categories, performance profiling lets athletes take the lead. They define their own strengths, goals, and areas for improvement.
- The Big Win: Once the athlete's profile is ready, they own it. They get a clear picture of their current 'hero-self' and their 'ideal hero-self.' It's about bridging the gap!
Goal Setting Your Superhero Mission ๐ฏ
- SMARTER Goals: These are not just any goals. They're:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Time-locked
- Exciting
- Review
- Golden Rules by Locke and Latham (1990):
- Difficulty Level: Like a video game, if it's too easy, it's boring. Set goals that challenge you but are doable.
- Positive & Negative Goals: Think offense & defense. E.g., a soccer player could aim to 'pass more effectively' (positive) and 'avoid fouls near the penalty box' (negative).
- Goal Proximity: Mix short-term and long-term goals. The short ones are like mini-quests leading to the main mission! E.g., For a runner, a short-term goal might be to improve their lap time, leading to the long-term goal of winning the 800-meter race.
- Context Matters: Remember, goal-setting isn't a one-size-fits-all cape. It was originally designed for workplace productivity. For elite athletes, the gains might be smaller but still powerful!
