We have all seen it and done it: a teammate lets anger consume them, or we become overwhelmed by fear. We know what happens next—our performance, compounded by an escalating emotional state, spirals further into the garbage. For athletes and performers, emotions have the power to either elevate or diminish our craft, making emotional regulation an essential tool in our toolkit.
Over the next few days, we will explore emotions in-depth, creating space to understand and harness them. What is an emotion, and what is its purpose? Why do we experience emotions, and how can we use them effectively? How can we cultivate emotional states that sustain high performance? By mastering our emotions, we can transform them from obstacles into powerful allies, driving consistent growth and peak performance.
