Cognitive temperature refers to the level of mental activation a player experiences during competition. Excess activation leads to impulsive decisions, while low activation causes delayed responses.
Regulation focuses on staying in a balanced zone of thoughtful, controlled processing. This is achieved by maintaining neutral focus, avoiding emotional amplification, and using small stabilizing breaths or micro pauses.
