Each human has unique physical, emotional and social characteristics. The way in which people learn, perform and think affect every aspect of their lives. These individual differences include inherited, social and emotional factors and they account for the variability in the learning of motor skills.
Inherited Factors: Affecting skill acquisition include gender, race, somatotype (body shape), muscle fibre composition, information processing capacity and aptitude for the activity. Skill acquisition depends on the level of keenness, confidence, competitiveness, self esteem, relations with others and even levels of agression. These personality traits are enhanced as involvement in the activity continues.
Skill acquisition can be influenced by the reasons for participation, the level of aspiration, the degree of enjoyment, the effort put into the activity and the readiness of the participant to learn. Those athletes who are confident about their abilities, or their ability to improve abd learn, will develop skills faster than those who are not. This self-confidence in athletes is sometimes noted as "ego." Ego can be a good tool for coping with stress and throwing others off their game
