- Title
The Performance Profile: Theory and Application.
- Authors
Butler, Richard J.; Hardy, Lew
- Abstract
The importance of discovering the athlete's perspective of his or her own notions of self and performance is discussed with reference to Personal Construct Theory (Bannister & Fransella, 1986; Kelly, 1955). The athlete's constructions are displayed in the form of performance profiles and the methodology of developing such profiles is described. The application of performance profiles is illustrated with a number of examples from elite athletes over a range of Olympic sports.
