Situational sources of stress
Quick revise
Event Importance: Generally the more important the event, the more stress provoking it is. E.g. a championship game over a regular season game.
Uncertainty: The greater the uncertainty about the outcome of the event the greater the stress. E.g. not knowing the starting line up for the game.
Other sources include competition, frustration, conflict, personal, physiological/ climatic and the audience.
