Dr. Aris Thorne is an elite sports psychologist working with a national coxless four rowing crew preparing for the Olympic qualification regatta. Despite exceptional individual physiological markers, the crew is struggling with synchronization and pacing during the high-pressure middle thousand meters of their races, and friction between the rowers has led to a breakdown in communication. The head coach has asked Dr. Thorne how an understanding of cognitive theories of personality can be applied to resolve these performance and coordination issues.
