6. Rationale
• Many children and adolescents are
participating in activities that require them to
prepare and perform “on the day”.
• These events are more than just leisure or
fun, they involve a serious commitment of time,
energy and (their parent’s) finances.

7. Rationale
• The majority of adults who “perform” professionally
or at an elite level, such as athletes, musicians,
performing artists or politicians began their
involvement with this activity under the age of
ten, either participating in their chosen activity, or a
related activity.

8. Rationale
• The majority of psychologists who specialise in
working with performance issues, such as Sport
Psychologists, do not generally work with
children and adolescents, and may not be
specifically trained in issues relating to
developmental psychology.

9. Rationale
• The majority of psychologists who specialise in
working with children and adolescents, such as
Educational and Developmental Psychologists, do
not generally work with elite performance
issues, and may not be specifically trained in this
area.

10. Rationale
• The Power Up! program is designed to bridge the

13. context of
performance
• Children and adolescents may train or practice up to 40 hours
a week. Some may have significantly altered or restricted
their lifestyle to accommodate these demands.
• It is important to alter our frame of reference to understand this
context. If we view a family’s lifestyle from a “normal” lens,
many of the family’s choices may appear dysfunctional.

14. context of
performance
• Being able to “get” the context will be fundamental for
children, adolescents and families to feel safe to work
with a psychologist in managing the demands of an elite
pathway.

15. context of
performance
• Network with your local sports clubs, dance or drama schools
or educational institutions and observe training and competition.
• Learn about the different levels of competition and
performance and develop an understanding of the line between
recreational and career-focused participation.
• Become educated about the “lingo” of the activity.

16. Skill
Development
• All children, and some adolescents are in a
developmental phase of their journey towards the top
of their field.
• The psychological skill of mental rehearsal/imagery
has been found to improve skill development and retention
of motor skills in young children.

17. Performance
Anxiety
• Child and adolescents have similar experiences of
performance anxiety to adults.
• Grossbard, Smith, Smoll & Cumming (2009) found that
9-14 year old sport participants reported distinct experiences
of somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety and disruption to
concentration as a result of this anxiety.
