Fewer of the athlete’s peers are in attendance at away games.
Do young inexperienced teams play better on the road? If so, is this due to less worry by the athletes about what their peers may think of their performance?
If we use up a part of our limited attention worrying about what other people think of us, we have less attention to spend actually performing the activity.
If so, then if we can convince our student fans (the group that some athletes are most worried about) that their positive support is crucial in relieving this worry and subsequent draw on the athlete’s attention, then the athlete will feel supported and have more attention to give to his/her performance.
