Abstract
Behaviors conductive to peak performance in ba sketball players: A view from coaches. Several studies have to tried to assess which psycho logical characteristics contribute most to peak perfo rmance in sports. The results, thoug h, are unclear as con ceptual an d methodological short-coming s of these studies have been pointed out. In this study we apply a different tack: instead of ask ing th e players themselv es to rate the psychological traits, as usual, we asked the coach es from different levels of competition to rate kin ds of behaviors. The results show that there is agreement on relevant behav iors in basketball players to o btain peak performance and the rank of coaches does not introduce sign ificant differences.
