Foresee the glory and train better: Narcissism, goal-setting and athlete training (2021)
Journal Article
Zhang, S., Roberts, R., Woodman, T., Pitkethly, A., English, C., & Nightingale, D. (2021). Foresee the glory and train better: Narcissism, goal-setting and athlete training. Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, 10(3), 381-393. https://doi.org/10.1037/spy0000264

Grandiose narcissism may be debilitative to athlete training because the opportunity for self-enhancement that motivates narcissists to strive is normally absent in training environments. However, this view ignores the divergent influences of the sel... Read More about Foresee the glory and train better: Narcissism, goal-setting and athlete training.
