Wheelchair Basketball

So, this was difficult to read: it wasn't attached, just copied and pasted into the message box on blackboard, and there were a lot of typos....a lot! so it made me question the authority of the article and where it was taken from...
I have always loved the idea of self efficacy and i think it plays a major role in confidence which results in performance levels.  I can see how it would be harder for those with disabilities to find self-efficacy in sport since it can be a challenge for them to participate in most sports.  To be able to self regulate thoughts and emotions does play a significant role in the emotional well-being of an athlete.  Other players, people in the crowds, the envrionment...things like this can throw an athlete off, and it's important to keep that idea of self-efficacy in the back of your mind and not let others get to you.
