Abstract
In interaction we take it that we should act with a certain appropriate degree of involvement with an activity–that is, one can ‘party hard’, but not ‘tea party hard’. To rephrase a common saying, it is not whether you win or lose but how you are seen as playing the game. To highlight this, the current chapter examines one form of encouragement in sports, highlighting the way in which’arousal’is constituted to be used as resource in interaction. Specifically, it describes incitement, used by participants to enact a normative moral frame of ‘effort’in the course of an embodied sporting conduct. Contributing to Discursive Psychology’s program of research respecifying emotion as a member’s concern this chapter highlights the way in which participants treat proper amounts of arousal as a competitive resource in order to enact norms of effort in sporting settings.
