disagree  Seger Bonebakker (X): Afwachting is rustig en passief, het tegenovergestelde van waar ik adrenaline. mee associeer. Afwachtende spanning lijkt me stylistisch minder geslaagd.

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): verwachting (er staat in het Engels ook geen 'hope').

  -> Is wel zo, maar sluit zo mooi aan bij het gezegde 'tussen hoop en vrees leven'
disagree  Seger Bonebakker (X): De combinatie adrenaline-hoop vloekt. Hoop straalt rust uit, adrenaline gejaagdheid. Verwachting idem.

agree  Seger Bonebakker (X): Eens. Je bent opgewonden omdat je iets positiefs verwacht, en daar gaat je hart sneller van kloppen.

  -> Dank je wel. Maar waarom denkt iedereen dat haar iets positiefs te wachten staat? Dan zou ze toch geen angst hoeven te voelen?

het vooruitzicht


Explanation:
Adrenaline helpt de concentratie bevorderen. Artisten (of paarden?) leren hun adrenalineniveau op te bouwen voor maximale prestatie. Er is dan niet altijd sprake van plankenkoorts.
