This was a tricky video to make as there are lots of different theories on how to define personality and on what is considered a personality trait, but the key points that I wanted to make and that you should take away from this video are: 1. No personality test can consistently predict athletic performance. 2. Certain traits are shared among high level athletes and will help you on your journey to mastery (mental toughness, discipline, commitment, etc as mentioned in video). These traits can be developed through active efforts if you currently lack them. 3. Because of #1, do not feel compelled to copy the negative, immoral or unfavorable mannerisms that some athletes display (aggression, narcissism, cockiness, unsportsmanlike behaviours, etc). These things will NOT make you a better athlete. For example, you can be both confident and humble (rather than cocky) - Steph Curry is a great example of this. 4. Basically, besides developing the sport specific traits that are relevant to improving at your sport, there is no need to try and become someone you are not - so I encourage you to be humble, be authentic and be kind to both yourself and others on your journey to mastery :)
I've only just come across your channel, in the last few days, and it is excellent! I find it hard to believe that, as of today, you have only 6.83K subs! Hold on fella, because when the word gets out, your channel is going to explode! Keep up the good work and God Bless!!!
Man i discover your chanel, your videos are soooo cool ! I was searching for real videos like this since a long time on the sport psychology, that share good informations in a simple maner. It's really helpfull, thank you bro !
Nice job. Very interesting. I like the fact that your TH-cams reflect the latest scientific findings. I'll be eager for your videos about developing desirable traits. Thanks!
Bro I study psychology n personality almost every single day passionately online, n I don't understand how your video has such low views n stats... This video n this content is AWESOME, logical, informative n clear to understand... Great work my friend
Bro, nice video, I had to watch your video and respond a number of questions about it for a practice for my university in Spain for the subject of psychology applied to the sport. If I were you I would be so proud of that a university takes my video as an example for their students.
Please make videos on Self efficacy and mental strength , good examples are , Novak Djokovic etc. What sets these handful few people apart from the crowd, your videos are great 🤞🙌looking forward to it
Hey! This was a fantastic video. I am currently writing a paper with personality traits and success in tennis. Would it be possible for you to share the references?
Just discovered your videos and love your approach. I am a PE teacher and Football (soccer) coach and have a real interest in sports psychology. Have you done a video on 'self-talk'? I find it a really interesting mental skill which can be utilised to improve confidence and benefit all of the 4 C's (commitment, confidence, control of emotions and concentration) and would love to hear your thoughts on it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I didn't realize that the email was also a comment, so I will post my response to you here just in case others were also interested: I have not done an in-depth study of self-talk yet, however, I am vaguely familiar with 2 strategies: 1. Name it to tame it 2. Optimism / explanatory style Martin Seligman does work on optimism and explanatory style. It relates to how we explain obstacles and negative events to ourselves (so this would related to commitment, self-efficacy (confidence), and control of emotions). Name it to tame it is a cognitive behavioural therapy strategy that helps with controlling emotions. I think it would be inappropriate if I tried to explain it because I don’t have enough experience. Counselling psychologists would have more experience with this strategy. I hope those are some good avenues where you will be able to do some of your research and find some strategies that you can use.
It's not about looking a certain way, it's about being a certain way. Humility is an important trait. We should strive to be less egocentric and more humble.
@@masteryblueprint_ i have to say, great content, I'm a sport science student from spain and our professor shares some of your videos in lecture because they are science based and also because of their entertaining format. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the feedback. I think I tried to include too much for this video. The main takeaways from the video are: 1. You don't need to be cocky to succeed. There are countless confident and humble world-class athletes, and you should strive to emulate them. 2. You can still reach the pinnacle of your sport even if you get very anxious before competitions (example of George Sainte Pierre - You can learn strategies to overcome fear and anxiety).
Elite athletes learn how to adapt their behaviours to the situation at hand. There are elite performers in every endeavour with every kind of personality trait. You need to define the difference between personality and behaviour. Behaviours are adaptable. . Personality is not.
I agree with the first and second statement (That elite athletes adapt behaviors and that there are elite performers with varying personalities - in fact, that was largely the point of the video, my bad if I could not get that message across clear enough). I don't agree with your third point, however. I'm not sure what theory or definition you are using to define personality (this would be important to clarify). If we use the big 5 - which has lots of scientific support - meta analyses have shown that roughly 50% of each dimension is heritable and 50% environment (can be changed). My point is that personality is changeable. Intuitively, by changing (or adapting) our behaviours, we change our personalities. Again, please send me any studies or research that would disprove this argument. Cheers
The major thing that stuck out to me in this video, was that from all of the many given examples from kids to elite athletes, there are NO WOMEN in this video. The content itself is useful but would be better without a gender bias.
My TH-cam audience consists 85% male and 15% female. TH-cam promotes videos based on retention, thus I need to make videos that best speak to this audience. I personally have no bias, it is simply a matter of what will actually be seen on TH-cam

Hey! This was a fantastic video. I am currently writing a paper with personality traits and success in tennis. Would it be possible for you to share the references?
This is the work I do as a hockey consultant
Interesting video, thank you!
Kinda related, does introversion/extroversion effect whether the athlete is successful?
No
Good stuff. I would love to have you on the podcast sometime. We have some opposing views that could make an interesting conversation
This video is awesome
you've got a cool channel. I'm starting up a sport psychology discussion channel and insta page, and this is a great benchmark for this sub-category
Thank you :) Awesome, I wish you the best of luck!

My comment before watching:Doesn't matter if you look humble or aggronat as long you have confidence in your ablities
It's not about looking a certain way, it's about being a certain way. Humility is an important trait. We should strive to be less egocentric and more humble.
Very creative youtuber
Could you please share the list of references and papers used by you for the literature review while producing this video, thank you in advance!
Will do going forwards. If I remember correctly, most studies for this video came from the Sport Psychology textbook written by Richard Cox
could you please mention what is the application that was used to produce this video? thanks

What about Kobe?
My comment after:Very nice.i think you are making things a bit complicated and useless for athletes.And how can i watch the full video of 9:45?
