Focus of Attention and Verbal Instructions: Strategies of Elite Track and Field Coaches and Athletes (2010, background): “This effect has been demonstrated using a variety of sport related skills requiring the successful manipulation of an object (Al-Abood et al., 2002; Bell & Hardy, 2009), and power skills requiring body transport (Wulf et al., 2007; Porter et al., in press).”
An External Focus of Attention Results in Greater Swimming Speed (2010, neutral): “, [7, 11, 29]).”
External focus of attention and autonomy support have additive benefits for motor performance in children (2017, background): “While a more distal external focus has often been found to be more advantageous than a proximal external focus (e.g., Bell & Hardy, 2009; McNevin, Shea, & Wulf, 2003), novices performing relatively complex tasks presumably benefit more from a proximal focus (e.g., Wulf, McNevin, Fuchs, Ritter, &…”
Does the Attentional Focus Adopted by Swimmers Affect Their Performance? (2011, background): “The motor tasks for which these effects have been demonstrated ranged from various types of balance tasks [3, 4] to sport skills, including basketball [5, 6], volleyball [7], soccer [7], dart throwing [8, 9], and golf [10].”

Quiet Eye Training: Effects on Learning and Performance Under Pressure (2010, background): “Although much of this research has focused on postural tasks, Wulf’s research in aiming tasks (e.g., golf chip shots) has also implicated an external focus of attention as critical for motor learning and performance (Bell & Hardy, 2009; Wulf, Lauterbach, & Toole, 1999; Wulf & Su, 2007).”
