    behavior change process. Positive
    expectations of success produce positive

    opponent or successfully performing a
    difficult skill can produce exceptional
    performance as psychological barriers are
    overcome.
    How Expectations
    Influence Performance
    • Coaches’ and teachers’ expectations
    are very important.
    • A teacher’s or coach’s expectations
    can alter a student’s or athlete’s
    feelings and performance.
