5. In relation to performing in a competitive event it is important to find your IPS. What does IPS stand for?

Answer: Ideal Performing State

The Ideal Performing State is a state of mind which when achieved you give yourself the best probability of doing your activity at your highest level of competency. It is a scale of extreme agitation (pumped up) to extreme calm (almost emotionless). It is an individual response that must be tested for to understand where a person sits on the scale and results are often poor when operating outside of the optimum individual level. An example of two different athletes would be Bjorn Borg (extreme calm) and John McEnroe (extreme agitation). Both were world champions in the same sport however both required different states of mind to achieve highest standards.
