Arousal
Arousal refers to the level of physiological and psychological activation an athlete experiences. It ranges from low (relaxed) to high (intense excitement or stress).
Drive theory
Drive theory refers to a psychological concept that suggests a linear relationship between an athlete's arousal level and their performance, meaning as arousal increases, so does their performance, with no optimal level of arousal; essentially, the more aroused an athlete is, the better they will perform according to this theory.
Drive theory treats arousal as a single variable with one knob to turn, so it cannot account for athletes who were so wound up they could not breathe properly, lost their feel for the ball, or rushed the technique they had drilled for years.
Inverted U Theory
The 'inverted U' theory proposes that sporting performance improves as arousal levels increase but that there is a threshold point. Any increase in arousal beyond the threshold point will worsen performance. At low arousal levels, performance quality is low.
