Performing under pressure?

Hello everyone,

As part of my Masters in Sport Psychology I am conducting some research into performing under pressure. We are interested in whether an individual's personality influences how they perceive and perform under different types of pressure in sport (eg. large crowd, financial reward, serving on match point etc). This research takes the form of a 15 minute questionnaire and is open to any adult (18+) who has played a sport competitively in the last 5 years (this includes matches for a local club). Furthermore, 8 participants will be selected at the end of the study to win a £25 amazon voucher.

If anyone would like to take part in this research then please follow this link to the online questionnaire - http://brunellifesc.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_87DKcn9HHRkpSF7.

Completing the questionnaire may also prove helpful to your game, as it provides the opportunity to think more deeply about how you perform in pressure situations. Currently tennis players are underrepresented in our sample so it would be great to get some responses!

you need to talk with 2 greatest experts on this board and simply ignore everyone else, as everyone else has no clue what they are talking about.
but what you will hear from the 2 experts, is pure gold.

I tried to have a go, but I only get a blank screen and a sort of hour-glass in a loop....

That's weird, nobody has reported that problem before... what web browser did you try it on?
nevermind, it was Ghostery plugin preventing the form to come through.
Questionnaire filled.

P.S. - for the specifics of tennis some of those questions on easy/difficult skill vs whatever context - don't quite pair very well...

People cheer an basketball athlete when he's about to make a free-throw, or a soccer player to score a penalty, etc but in tennis people don't cheer BEFORE or DURING a forehand or backhand - they only do it after the point is done... so...

Great, thanks for filling it out.

Yeah it's difficult to design scenarios that are broad enough that they can apply across multiple different sports, so some won't fit perfectly for tennis. The idea though is that most athletes in any sport would be able to imagine what it would be like to play in front of a crowd that wants you to win or lose, even if they aren't specifically cheering/heckling you.
