Performance profiles can be produced for teams and individual athletes in
sport. However, a team or individual sportsperson never plays against
themselves. Indeed, the way they play is often influenced by the quality and
type of opposition. This paper describes the initial research on Interacting
Performances Theory. A series of 6 studies provide evidence supporting the
four key parts of the theory: (1) The performance is influenced by the
particular opponent, (2) The outcome of a performance is influenced by the
quality and the type of opponent, (3) The process of a performance is
influenced by the quality and the type of opponent and (4) Different players
are influenced by the same opponent types in different ways. Although the
theory sees the interaction of two competing performers as essential to
understanding the nature of their performances, it also recognises the
importance of performance profiles. Indeed, it is proposed that performance
profiles are enhanced to include details of how teams and individuals
perform against different types of opposition.
