Getting "psyched up" and highly motivated to perform in key competitions is the way to build self-efficacy called emotional arousal.

Emotional arousal, also known as psychological arousal, is the level of intense feelings of excitement or nervousness that an athlete experiences before a competition. This state can help them perform at their best and is related to building self-efficacy, which refers to an athlete's belief in their ability to perform a specific task successfully. Therefore, getting "psyched up" and highly motivated can help build self-efficacy through emotional arousal.
