Research Study - from Mexico City to Denver’s Mile High Stadium there’s been lots of talk about how high elevation affects athletes. But researchers at CSUS say declines in exercise performance can hit even closer to home — as low 1,900 feet. That’s 500 feet below Colfax. Kinesiology and health science professor Daryl Parker, who conducted the study with colleague Roberto Quintana.

Spring 2002 l Capital University Journal Perceptions sway athlete play In the world of amateur sports, what you believe is what you get, says kinesiology and health science professor Gloria Solomon. If the coach doesn't have confidence in an athlete, the athlete rarely improves. |
More surprisingly, Solomon learned that when athletes were considered high-expectancy, it wasn't based on athletic ability or athlete confidence. “The predictor of actual performance was the coach's perception of the athlete's confidence,” says Solomon, a certified sport psychology consultant who has been both a coach and an athlete.
For several years Solomon has been testing expectancy theory, which looks at the effect of one person's expectations on another's performance. “I wondered how some coaches could bring out the best in athletes while others couldn't,” she says.
Expectancy theory had been used in education, but Solomon is the first to find relationship between expectancy and athletic performance. Her findings have been published in several professional journals, most recently in the International Journal of Sports Psychology .
Another revelation came during a study that documented the actual feedback coaches issued to athletes at practices. “When you ask coaches to reflect on the feedback they've given, they see themselves more positively than was the case,” Solomon says. “The athletes, on the other hand, are very accurate in remembering what was said. Coaches are a little disconnected from what they say and what athletes pick up on and remember.”
Solomon saw positive signs when she looked at interactions between coaches and athletes in youth sport, and between assistant coaches and athletes in high school and college. There was not the same difference in feedback among youth sport coaches.
