In my sports psychology class I try to get students to analyze most learning situations from both perspectives. For example coaches who constantly yell at their players are effective at developing conditioned fear reactions so their players play at a higher level of arousal or intensity (CC). Most players however also find this punishing and will often learn/chose to avoid the sport, which results in a high drop out rate for this type of coach (OC).
