True Performance Realization

Interested in contributing to the TPRAJ? We welcome submissions from researchers, practitioners, and professionals in human performance.

Author's Guidelines:

Purpose: The True Performance Realization Applied Journal (TPRAJ) publishes original, valid, relevant, and accessible information that advances understanding of how to optimize human performance. Articles should provide readers with practical insights that can be applied across a diverse range of settings.

Style of Writing: TPRAJ is designed for a broad audience, ranging from parents and student athletes to military leaders and experienced human performance professionals. Content should be clear, engaging, and useful to both non-specialists and experts. Following the principle stated by Arthur Schopenhauer, "One should use common words to say uncommon things." Thus, authors are encouraged to present complex ideas in a straightforward and understandable manner. Use of AI to generate or refine article content is not supported by TPRAJ.

Article Content: TPRAJ publishes novel ideas, perspectives, and methods for eliciting human performance. While the views published in the TPRAJ do not have to align with the TPR Model, they must be supported by credible evidence, such as peer-reviewed research, professional experience, and established publications.
