A self-reflection prompt should focus only on the athlete's personal performance.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only coaches matter.
• D. All external factors.

Answer: (B)

Self-reflection prompts should guide the athlete to look at what they can control in their performance while also noticing how other factors influenced the outcome. Focusing only on the athlete’s personal performance misses important context that helps shape future training and competition plans. Reflecting on internal elements—technique, effort, decision-making, mindset—and relevant external factors—conditions, equipment, opponent behavior—gives a fuller, more actionable picture. For example, after a race, consider pacing and technique, then note how wind or track surface affected you and what you can adjust next time. That balance makes the reflection meaningful and useful for growth.
