detail on what those factors are. The article also mentions that performance psychology is a growing field in sports and business, but is doesn't touch on in what other professions. It references the relationship to sports briefly and then it jumps to how it should be applied to front line workers and that if they aren't motivated or trained that will not succeed. I think there should be additional supporting facts. The field is a very broad field and research can lead it into many different directions. I think as this page grows, several different specific topics will be expanded upon such as how it is applied in sports, corporate management and the front line workers, mental and motivational facotrs that improve performance, focus, leadership and many more. I look forward to taking the opportunity to work on this page.(

www.mindtools.com as "Career developmental Skills" (which is not the title of the website) doesn't give the reader any clue of what that link is before they click on it; the same applies to labeling www.brianmac.co.uk/psych.htm as "Psychology", and most of the rest of the references on the page. Normally I would try to give examples of how to properly format a reference, but since most of these references are inappropriate and need to be removed anyway I think it will be better for you just to look at a better-developed article, like

etc. to domains other than sports. This tight connection is clear from this article, which is dominated by a long section on sport psychology. So there's likely an article that could be written here, but the one we presently have is effectively unsourced, written like an advertisement, and doing more harm than good. Since the distinction seems largely to be based on clientele rather than methods/basis, and because the article for

Sources exist, to be sure, but I'm noticing that in the scholarly psychology literature, "performance psychology" is based on sport psychology, which reframed itself as a sub-field of performance psychology in order to create an umbrella that covers application of sport psychology ideas, techniques,

Furthermore, the article contains no references demonstrating that this field has produced any academic literature in peer-reviewed publications, which leads me to believe that this is a "self-help"-like pseudoscience. But that's really beside the point here; the problem with references is enough to

The graphic at the head of the article needs to be elaborated on. Its legend, simply 'Relative performance' means little. It would ideally need to have clear axes and scales, and the legend could be expanded on; instead of being at the top, the graphic ought to be located within a section that deals

Tagged "POV", article reads like a press release for its topic. Long paragraphs with a single "reference", which in one case went to the home page of mindtools.com, where no discernible support for the claims in that paragraph were found. Sorry but this is not ready for the main page. For a better

This article on Performance Psychology has a good general overview and was relatively useful. I think that there is plenty of room to expand on this topic. The first sentence mentions that performance psychology studies the factors that allows people to succeed in society, but it doesn't go into

On a side note, the way the references are displayed in the page is also not ideal. The links are hidden behind misleading titles. References should give accurate and full reference information (the title of the page, publisher, author, date written, and date accessed). Labeling, for instance,
