You may feel that negative emotions or outbursts only hurt your game, but the impact is much more wide-reaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at two scenarios. Imagine a basketball team who is battling for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One player is particularly volatile on the court if a teammate makes a mistake. He yells at that player and won\u2019t even pass him the ball when he\u2019s open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the players on the court and the bench sense his anger and frustration. The tension on the court affects the whole <strong>team <\/strong>dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our second scenario, a quarterback is sacked for the fourth time in a game. He stands on the sideline with his head down, dejected, and isolates himself from his <strong>teammates<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He appears to have given up on the team, and with five minutes left in the fourth quarter trailing by 10 points, the offense begins to feel the game is lost. Those negative emotions send messages to your <strong>teammates<\/strong>, affecting how they respond to you and perform in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative emotions can trigger a domino effect throughout your team. Negative emotions poison team morale, cohesion, and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, positive emotions can also trigger a productive mood among your teammates. If you feel determined, those around you will pick up on those emotions, and your <strong>teammates <\/strong>will feel energized.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you make a mistake in a game but maintain your poise, your teammates will take notice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will feel confident, motivated, and focused on responding positively. When you are excited to meet a challenge in a game, your <strong>teammates <\/strong>will rally around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One player on a <strong>team <\/strong>makes a difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_become_aware_of_your_emotional_impact_on_your_team_you_should_consider_three_key_points\"><\/span>To become aware of your emotional impact on your team, you should consider three key points:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How have you responded to stressful circumstances in the past?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did your negative emotions affect your performance?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How did your emotions impact your teammates\u2019 performance?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a productive impact on your team is a quality of positive leadership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Philadelphia Eagles headed into the 2023 Super Bowl, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox was asked about Philadelphia\u2019s quarterback Jalen Hurts\u2019 poise and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>COX<\/strong>:\u00a0<em>\u201cEven when times, things aren\u2019t going our way or his way, you never see him really frustrated. You never see him screaming at a teammate for maybe messing something up, or it didn\u2019t go the way that he wanted it to go. When your quarterback is like that, you definitely want to go out and play harder for him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spread of emotions between <strong>teammates <\/strong>impacts team play. Therefore, managing your emotions is a critical mental skill for individual and team peak performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start considering how your emotions affect your performance or the play of your teammates. Think about the message you want to send to your <strong>teammates <\/strong>in future competitions. How can you respond in stressful situations that motivate and energize your team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot stop emotions from occurring, but you can learn to manage your emotions through diligent mental training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/managing-your-emotions-when-adversity-hits\/\">Managing Your Emotions When Adversity Hits<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-athletes-can-control-emotions\/\">How Athletes Can Control Emotions<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-elite-athletes-combat-worry\/\">How Elite Athletes Combat Worry<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a>&nbsp;on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Composed_Athlete\"><\/span>The Composed Athlete<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/composed-athlete-small.jpg\" alt=\"The Composed Athlete Workbook &amp; Audio\" class=\"wp-image-19327\" style=\"width:180px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Composed Athlete\u201d is presented on<strong> 80-minute Audio Programs<\/strong> with a <strong>70-page step-by-step workbook<\/strong> that guides you through the program each day.
