{{Cquote|Self-regulation refers to a regulation of the psychological state of an individual by the individual her- or himself. Self-regulation becomes necessary when internal or external barriers threaten the efficient realization of an intended action. Self-regulation consists of auxiliary processes that are based on metaknowledge (metacognitive or metamotivational knowledge). These auxiliary processes support basic action processes like attention, motivation, etc., if those are not sufficient for optimum goal attainment. Self-regulation plays an important role in sport. Athletes have to master several challenges in practice and competition, which require employment of these strategies. During a competition, for example, it is important to stay focused on the task in the presence of a large, noisy audience. Individuals develop ‘naive’ forms of self-regulatory techniques to deal with such challenges or threats. Action control is a broader conceptualization of the auxiliary processes. Two forms of action control are distinguished: Self-control attempts to inhibit distracting thoughts, competing action tendencies, etc. Self-regulation attempts to support task-relevant cognitive, motivational, and emotional orientations. Psychological Skill Trainings usually address self-regulation techniques. In contrast to ‘naive’ self-regulation techniques, those are formal, structured applications of scientific psychological knowledge. Although the terms used for the self-regulation techniques in these programs vary within the sport psychological literature, core techniques involve activation regulation, attention control, self-talk and thought control, visualization, and goal-setting.<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B0080430767013838 Sports Performance, Self-regulation of] by J.
