Conclusion
Performance psychology involves assessment and intervention strategies that enhance an individual's performance and personal growth. It represents the various environments where mental skills enhancement can be useful. Many techniques used with elite athletes has had comparable success with elite performers in other areas, such as musicians, dancers, managers and leaders. In some respect, Performance Psychologists are the chameleons of the practitioner world, having to adapt to very different performance domains and address a wide array of factors that infringe upon the performance in any given individual or group. The corporate world models their business approach to performance based on sports performance analogies. It seems likely that as the performance psychology field grows and develops further, along with client expectations, a greater level of domain-specific knowledge and directly relevant experience will be required.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“The conclusion has never changed: the worst sort of people come here for the worst sort of reasons and put upon those of us who have conveniently forgotten where we came from and how we got here.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
