Post 3 - personality types

Describe type A and Type B personalities are , whats the traits of each type are and another type of behavior they may exhibit.

Type A personality 
 Type A personality is a person who lacks patient who likes things straight away and not wait for it as swell as a competitive individual  who has a high desire to achieve and meet goals. They also are always in a rush and multi-task at the same time , due to this they have high levels of anxiety

Type B personality 
Type B personality is an individual who is very tolerant towards others and is very calm in fast paced situation.Not like type A the individual will have low anxiety throughout their life if maintained .A type B person tends to be very creative individual.

Explain which type you think your athlete is , what traits and behaviours they exhibit and why you think this is 

I believe my athlete who is Yaya Toure has a type B personality. I know this because when a challenge doesn't go his way he doesn't react and agrees with the referees decision .However if Yaya Toure had a Type A personality i believe he would react to the situation differently , the downfall to this will be Yaya getting booked or get sent off the pitch.

post 2 - Personality theories

Define personality

The defenition of personality is the a mixture of characteristics or key aspects of an individuals character

Trait theory 

A persons personality has two traits . Your either an introvert or and extrovert 

Introvert - you don't seek attention or any kind of excitment , you would prefer calm quite environments. Their.Their inner world is more interesting then whatever s going on around them 

Extrovert - This person would feel very bored quickly and loves being the centre of attention.They would find it hard to concentrate for long periods of time and need attention The trait theory is baseed on your characteristics reflecting you're behaviour .The trait theory believe and agree that personality reflects behaviour.

situational approach 

situational approach is someone personality and behaviour on the situation and environment they're in. For example how a person may act in school as a quite individual but they are a loud person outside school and at home 

social learning theory 

Social learning theory is a persons personality changing all the time due their environment and situation.For example a person may look up to a celebrity and take on their habits even if their bad or good.

- Attention - The model must win our attention and this is gained by gaining respect this includes status and performance 

- Motor reproduction - we have to use our memory to recall the skills and behaviour when needed.

-  Retention  to be able to retain the models skills and behaviour in our memory 

- Motivational response - unless we are motivated none of this matters 

Interactional response 

This is someone personality traits and the situational approach work together.For example a introvert is a quite calm down person  but if the situation changes so do they for example if a fight breaks out their attitude will change.

Which one of these apply to your athlete ?

I believe the trait theory  describes my athlete perfectly.This is because Yaya Toure is a hard working , quite humble player on the pitch and as a surprise he is hard working off the pitch as well
