Behavioural ability encompasses what we think, do, feel, and say in relation to our development and performance in-and-out of sport. It encapsulates the development of disciplined thought and action. e.g. the ability to plan, set goals, focus, reflect, reason, make decisions, solve problems, manage emotions, work with others, adhere to training programs, engage in focused practice, eat and sleep well. It is the essential discipline of working smart, and hard, in-and-out of sport which results in a judoka becoming increasingly Adaptable, Independent and Resilient (AIR).
