Jessica K. Witt, an assistant professor of psychological sciences who studies perception in athletes, found that performance influences perception when a person kicks a football through goal posts. Her study shows that people kicking field goals will see a smaller goal after unsuccessful attempts, while those who kick better will judge the goal posts to be farther apart and the crossbar lower to the ground.
