Abstract
In this chapter, I elaborate on these two goals drawing on my experiences as a media educator for elite performers and my own research into media communication and language use in the sports media interviews. In Section 2, I consider how elite performers typically attempt to manage their impressions in the sports media and the importance of understanding your context when thinking about impression management strategies. In Section 3 I unpack some of the key interpersonal work elite performers do when speaking to the media in order to protect and have a positive effect on important professional relationships. In this section we also consider the notion of playing mind games in the media which is a different kind of interpersonal strategy some elite performers may wish to engage in. It is hoped that for elite performers reading this chapter, the discussion of these two key goals will help them reflect on how they can manage their impression and their relationships in their media interview performances.
