The Type A and Type B theory was developed by two cardiologists; who were Meyer Friedman and R.H. Rosenman. The basic idea of this theory is that everyone can be classified into three different types, the types being: Type A, Type B and Type AB. The latter being the type comprised of the previous two; so for example if you had a mixture of traits from Types A and B, you would be placed into Type AB. While Type A and Type B are the complete opposite of each other in how they think and understand things; along with their traits generally being opposite of each other.
People who fit into Type A would find themselves becoming annoyed to delays, time where they are unproductive and other inconveniences very quickly compared to the other type. Following on from this Type A people would find themselves in a constant race against time rushing to get things done and don’t like waiting this makes these types of people ‘go-getters’ or people who will not settle and want to

If you look at all the successful sportspeople they want to achieve and push themselves to be that fractional part better like the Type A person. Where sports people use their failures to motivate them which means it must bother them on a personal level for them to want to push them to do better and succeed. Now if you put a Type B person In that scenario they wouldn’t be fazed by the failure they endured meaning they most likely be less motivated to improve and develop as performer. But while this makes sense from certain sports perspectives other sports would benefit from having a Type B person in their team. For example, a central attacking midfielder in a game of football; these people have certain traits which would allow them to excel in their position. The main traits that would benefit this position are: creative, imaginative and patient. These traits would allow them to ‘find’ or ‘create’ the killer pass to lead to a
When i was playing football in my freshman and sophomore year I was not the best player by far. If anything i was probably one of the worst players on the team. I sat bench a whole lot that is for sure, but when i finally began to see how successful my teammates had been it drove me to succeed I was starting to be faster and my hands were becoming better. I was actually putting up a run for the starting position. I never once became jealous of my teammates success i just wanted to be a part of it so i drove myself to where I was a good enough player that I could become a part of it. That is why Margaret Meads view on success is flawed is that we thrive off of one another 's success we don 't see them as a threat because of
The example of an athlete is adapted to clarify this belief. If one wants to be a star athlete, then it is important for one to train properly and work hard before the event. Supposing that one does not prepare for the event, then the expectation sh...
Some forms of inspiration are driven from defeat. The Garden City’s football team’s catalyst before their football game was, “Having lost to the rival Red Devils in each of the past two seasons was motivation enough for Garden City, Which rolled to a 68-20 victory that ended by the 45-point mercy rule late in the fourth quarter”(Whitson 1). Having lost two seasons in a row by the same team, caused each player to exert themselves to their highest capability to vanquish the Red Devils. The Lubbock tennis team, just like Garden City, was defeated, but the Lubbock tennis team lost at regional finals. “’Last year we fell short and lost in the finals of the regionals to Wichita Falls Rider, and basically we started working for this very thing at that point last year,’ Dotson said”(“Finding Motivation No Problem” 1). Their melancholy was used as fuel to ignite triumph that upcoming year. In the book The Perfect Mile, Bannister embraced this concept when Neal Bascomb said, “Bannister had stepped up his training. His failure in Helsinki had left him with a need to redeem himself- to deal with ‘unfinished business’”(Bascomb 88). “But the sting from his devastating loss at the Olympics had driven him to continue running and to seek the four-minute mile as evidence that his approach to sport still had merit”(Bascomb 242). Bannister desired to have satisfaction with his achievements and wanted to close o...
The second type is the know-it-all; he is identified by his commonplace appearance, moderately developed social skills, and commanding attitude.
Failure- Acceptors are solely focused on playing the sport, because of that they are more dedicated to the demands athletics have. These student athletes will put forth more of their time and effort to that sport (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014). Failure- Acceptors only have one academic motivation which is “to remain minimally academically eligible to play their sport” (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014,p.444). This quote explains that student athletes only work on academics to maintain a certain GPA to remain playing. On the other hand Failure-Avoiders failure plays a much stronger factor to causing them to put less time and effort into academics and to make a greater commitment to athletics. This type of athlete works to avoid failure. These students “often have a low self-worth due to a history of academic failure” (Simons, Rheenen and Covington, 2014,p.435). That academic failure could be the reason for pushing them towards being more interested in athletics and changed what they were most motivated about. Both of these types of athletes show the action of undertaking a sport takes more from them mentally and
My personal approach to counseling comes from several different theoretical frameworks. Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) has the most influence in what I would consider my personal approach. I truly believe that the way an individual feels about themselves will impact them more than anything else. When an individual feels that they are not good enough then they will continue to struggle in all aspects of their life. Thoughts affect our feelings and our behaviors; therefore, if you are able to change an individual’s negative thinking then you are able to change their feelings and behaviors. Therapists must be able to challenge an individual’s irrational beliefs about themselves and work to change these to more rational thinking. Studies have shown that individuals who are trying to lose weight will have more success if they just believe that they are capable of losing the weight. Just their positive thinking can enhance their personal diet and exercise. REBT will have the greatest impact when working with clients in my personal theory but I will also take many aspects from other theories as well.
Additionally, because I am a type-A personality, I tend to want to do as much as possible in as little time as possible. I also do not do well as a team player, and due to my impatience, I tend to cut people off before they finish speaking (Student Assessment Library, 2008). Although in the North American culture a type-A personality tends “to be highly prized and positively associated with ambition and the successful acquisition of material goods” (Robbins and Judge, 2009, p. 114), as a type-A I “operate under moderate to high level levels of stress” (Robbins and Judge, 2009, p. 114) and my behavior is easy to
Up until Last Tuesday, I did not know what a personality type was, and thought that the Myers-Briggs test only covered IQ. Fortunately for me, Last Tuesday, September 25th, happened. From there, I learned of 16 personality types, consisting of various combinations of letters forming a group. There are two options per “slot”, limiting the amount of combinations in terms of mathematics. But, that’s a good thing, or else the world would be a chaotic place with there being twice as much, or even more personality types. A typical combination of letters would be something like my combination, “ENFJ”, or “Extroverted Intuitive Who Feels with Judgement”. Yes, they are acronyms, sort of. How the Acronym forms depends
Thinking versus feeling is the next portion of the personality type. This letter covers how we make decisions. In the book Type Talk at Work, the authors explain that Thinkers tend to be more firm, just and analytical, whereas Feelers are more involved, subjective, and tend to be known for their caring nature
Types of High School Students High school is a one of a kind place, where the students attending it are likely to learn what they are going to do with their lives. Students may discover which job most suits them or what skills they have mastered, but along the way, every high school student attains a personality. These personalities are supposedly exclusive to that one person, however some people have qualities that are similar to others. These qualities classify their identities and what they’re known for after high school.
Type 4 is within the heart center of intelligence and perception, also known as the emotion center. The heart is based off of feelings, whether they are positive or negative. This type is focused on success and relationship. Type 4 is known as the romantic. I feel this to be very
The first category of players contains those who couldn't care less, whether they win or lose. Easily recognizable by the fact that: they drag their feet when they walk, they mope around with a glazed look on their faces, and they are never seen exerting themselves. Other players in this category stand like gargoyles, only moving when they hear the game is over. A few possible explanations for their lack of interest could be: they never actually wanted to play in the first place, they aren't really that good at the sport (So why bother?), or their minds are on something else. This lack of spirit can be cured, but only if the players want the cure. This inoculation for lack of interest cannot be unwillingly given, it must be sought after. Some players are content to ‘never play hard’ or ‘give it one-hundred percent.’ For those seeking the cure (I would omit this because it is understood arlready-àfor lack of interestß and (Omit this as it is redundant: those who) wanting to be involved, it's possible. All they have to do is strive for it. They have to play as if they want to win, that's it. They have to want it, because if you don't want to win you won't (you might want to change this “you“ to “they“ since that is the subject and th...
Motivate the motivation, simple words that can mean some much to an athlete, but what is motivation really? In the games and sports, psychological and physiological factors play an important role in determining the performance level (Grange & Kerr, 2010; Schilling & Hyashi, 2001). Motivation also plays an important role in determining the performance level an athlete, but plays a role in the psychological and physiological factors as well. Motivation is more than a behavior or idea, it is an impact on how we interact with others, how we process defeat, feel, and how we play. Motivation will not only help an athlete get the starting position or gain an award but more importantly, help an athlete reach their potential. Motivation like most things
Type A Personality or Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) include typical responses of competitiveness, time urgency, and hostility. Type A’s normally strive towards a goal without feeling a sense of joy in their efforts or accomplishments. They also seem to be in a constant struggle against the clock and become impatient with any delays and unproductive time. Type A’s also tend to see the worse in others and display anger, envy and lack of compassion (McLeod, 2017).
As Shannon indicates athletes are slowly taking in that role of building those key characteristics. For instance the role of being a leader and owning up to their responsibilities.
