Consider the role an athlete’s personality plays in that athlete’s success/failure not only in sport, but in life. To do this, you will need to consider and answer the following questions. To do this, choose two, well-known athletes in the same sport, and compare and contrast them considering the following:
1. How are the ‘ personalities of the two athletes you have chosen similar and different?
2. What if any personality test(s) or trait(s) could reliably predict an athlete’s potential performance?
3. Are personality traits changeable? If so, how and would this be a worthwhile effort? If not, why?
