Subject field(s)
  • Sports (General)

Try to appear superior, using physical or mental attitudes that will make the opponent believe it is the case.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports (Généralités)
DEF

Tenter d'indisposer, physiquement ou mentalement, l'athlète ou l'équipe que l'on doit rencontrer dans un match ou affronter en compétition.

OBS

Une excellente performance par un compétiteur qui s'exécute en premier peut être intimidante pour ceux qui suivent; utiliser les poings au hockey peut l'être, mais le simple fait de se présenter à une épreuve, sûr de soi et l'air confiant, peut en faire autant.
