Emotional Intelligence and Sport - E-book - ePub

Emotional Intelligence in sport is as important for the athlete as his equipment and physical training. To equip your inner being with the abilities and skills of emotional intelligence is to ensure that you have an competitive edge. Included in this book, are guidelines for parents and coaches, but it mostly focuses on the sportsmen and women who want to give attention to their emotions, thoughts, motivation and special skills such as visualisation and breathing, etc.
I also discussed aspects like anger, anxiety, resilience, the role of food and some relaxation techniques. There are 24 activities in the book which you may want to print out or use a separate piece of paper to do it on. The activities will help you to gain more insight into your own skills and you will realise where you may want to grow. It is strongly advised that you do the activities to the best of your abilities.
I hope that this book will help sportsmen and women from all over the world to not just focus on your physical preparations for a game or performance, but to also focus on your inner abilities and strengths.
