Social Facilitation

This is a picture of a slam dunk, one of the more flashy moves in the sport of  basketball. This reminds me of social facilitation because when there are people watching, you tend to try to outperform yourself and make yourself look good.

Social Facilitation - Improved performance of tasks in the presence of others; occurs with simple or well-learned tasks but not with tasks that are difficult or not yet mastered
