Consider whether there are inks between the sports you most enjoy and your personality profile. Discuss the value of personality profiling as a way of selecting a team or when advising a person as to which sport to take up. Copy up KEY WORDS into your file.

Learning occurs by way of environmental experiences and through the influence of other people e.g. Parents, Coaches, Role Models, Friends and other significant others. Personality is NOT therefore genetically programmed. “All behaviour is learned through interaction with the environment”

This perspective does provide explanation as to why there are individual differences in ‘attitude’ ‘aggression’, and ‘motivation’ of sports performers. Can also explain why young people elect to take part in sport or follow a lifestyle that is healthy, active and balanced.
