      | 67 | 
      I 
        can continue execute training exercise when I am tired, even if I do not 
        like the work | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 68 | 
      I can calm down before 
        the start if it is necessary  | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 69 | 
      I 
        can refuse to gain revenge if it is a better strategy  | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 70 | 
      I can regulate the 
        physiological function of my body  | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 71 | 
      Sometimes, 
        after a bad start I have a desire to quit my sport | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 72 | 
      I prefer to be a 
        leader in the team (last person to run/swim relay) | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 73 | 
      I 
        can be successful during the competition even if my uniform or equipment 
        is not functioning well | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 74 | 
      I like to compete 
        at any distance length | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 75 | 
      I 
        do not pay attention to problems between my teammates before the start 
         | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 76 | 
      I usually observe 
        what opponents do during the warm up | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 77 | 
      I 
        am easily irritated by critique from my teammates prior to start  | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 78 | 
      I am always observing 
        outside temperature, water temperature or track condition before the start 
         | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 79 | 
      I 
        am paying special attention to my food on a day of competition  | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 80 | 
      Regardless of intensity of competition I am always in 
      control of ratio between my tempo (cadence) and speed | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 81 | 
      Sometime 
        I am using a self control training methods before the start  | 
         
          
          |

      | 82 | 
      I prefer action movies 
        over the sport programs on TV | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 83 | 
      I 
        can not produce strong results unless I am challenged by a strong opponent | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 84 | 
      I prefer to appear 
        at competition site among the first, and start my warm-up earlier then 
        my opponents | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 85 | 
      I 
        believe in signs before the competitions | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 86 | 
      I prefer "watching" 
        tactics during the competitions | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 87 |

          | 
    
     
      | 88 | 
      Usually I feel uplifted 
        and in good mood prior the competitions | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          | 
    
     
      | 89 | 
      I 
        despise sportsmen who are nervous and look unconfident before the start 
         | 
         
          
          | 
       
          
          |
