How does personality affect sports performance in sport?

Answer 1

Well. Say that the athlete is cocky, arrogant, too good for the team,If he doesn't believe that the team is good enough for him, he'll probably perform poorly to get out. If he a workaholic type never good enough, he'll perform at his best, yet complain about how he's not good enough. If they are like ho-hum, I don't care their performance will be mediorce. Personality is a key in sports.

Answer 2

If you are a brave person then in say Rugby you will not be scared of tackling a big guy running hard, but say you are a timid person you would run off the pitch screaming "mummy mummy" and then get trampled on.
