TL;DR: Study findings showed that participants were able to attain same performance levels irrespective of whether they used a high or low level of action monitoring through an external or internal focus of attention, and suggest practical indications to help athletes deal with stress in endurance sports.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of the interaction of perceived motivational climate in physical education and found that the effect of perceived motivation on physical education performance was positively correlated with achievement goal theory and basic psychological needs theory.

TL;DR: Findings suggested that teachers' induced achievement motivational climates can influence students' perceptions and prompt PBS states consistent with the motivational atmosphere.

TL;DR: Practical indications deriving from the findings of this study can help coaches and athletes to develop mental preparation programs using sport-specific imagery.
