Psychological States
The concepts of competition, winning and losing, all have a strong relationship with testosterone. Right before an athletic competition, testosterone runs high. For the winners, it stays high. For the losers, it goes down. This helps explain the winning and losing streaks in sports. The same hold true in business affairs and other personal pursuits.

Being the centre of attention is another psychological state that is important to testosterone. Even though being "on display" can be stressful, once the fear of public speaking is dealt with, then being the centre of attention is a huge testosterone booster.
