Résumé
Cet article présente les fondements d’une nouvelle théorie pour contraster les effets de l’excellencisme et du perfectionnisme. Une étude a été réalisée auprès de 156 étudiants universitaires qui participaient à des sports organisés. Le perfectionnisme, au-delà de l’excellencisme, semble avoir une valeur incrémentale nulle pour prédire l’accomplissement sportif et scolaire ainsi qu’une valeur incrémentale débilitante pour prédire la peur de l’échec et les difficultés de conciliation sport-études. Poursuivre la perfection ne semble pas nécessaire. Poursuivre l’excellence semble suffisant pour obtenir des performances optimales, minimiser la peur de l’échec et réduire les difficultés à concilier le sport et les études.

Abstract
This article presents a new theory designed to contrast the effects of excellencism and perfectionism. A study was performed on a sample of 156 university students who participated in organized sports. Perfectionism, over and above excellencism, had a null incremental effect on sport and school achievement and a debilitative incremental effect on fear of failure and difficulty to balance sport and school. The pursuit of perfection appears unnecessary. Pursuing excellence appears to be good enough to earn optimal performance, minimize fear of failure in sport and school, and reduce difficulties in balancing sport and school.
Keywords:
