Psychological safety is a concept of considerable interest in sport.However, varying conceptualizations and definitions often presentconflicting meaning. Recent literature has questioned the transferabil-ity of the performance-based dimensions of psychological safety tohigh performance and selective sport settings. While athletes need tomake errors to learn, they must also perform in environments whereerrors are consequential. In this article, we address critiques of thetransferability of psychological safety to high-performance and select-ive sport contexts, whilst acknowledging the essence of psychologicalsafety as having value for sporting contexts. To contribute construct-ively, we expand on the “dual effect” of psychological safety and itsimpact on voice behavior and the perceived consequences of errors.We propose a theoretical adaptation using the concept ofPerformance Safety: a temporally dynamic perception emerging fromindividual–environment interactions, specifically concerning the per-ceived consequences of error. By introducing this differentiation, weaim to distinguish between the ability to express oneself verbally andthe implications of performance-based consequences.Lay Summary: In this article, we suggest a theoretical adaptationto enable transferability of psychological safety to high-performanceand selective sport. We introduce the differential conceptPerformance Safety as a time bound perception concerning percep-tions of consequence from error, to delineate between speaking upand perceptions of consequence from error.
