In most physical activity (pa) contexts three general components come into play: January 20, 2017: technical: sport-related skills training. 3-point shoot in basketball: physical: strength, speed, endurance, mental: motivation, focus, attention. If you have a weakness in 1 of these components your likelihood of being successful is greatly diminished. Experts tend to have few, if any weaknesses.

This knowledge is relevant when designing appropriate training interventions, including psychological interventions (williams & reilly, 2000).
