“…Researchers have demonstrated that a wide range of emotions are associated with changes in performance levels (e.g., Burton, 1988;Gould, Petlichkoff, Simons, & Vevera, 1987;Hanin, 2000;Hanin & Syrjä, 1995a;Hanin & Syrjä, 1995b;Jones, Mace, & Williams, 2000). Recently, Botterill and Brown (2002), Hanin (2000), Lazarus (2000b), and Vallerand and Blanchard (2000) have all outlined the mechanisms by which emotions may influence performance.…”

Emotions play a central role in sport performance. Accordingly, it is important that athletes are able to draw on a range of strategies to enhance emotional control. The present paper outlines a number of strategies based on Lazarus' cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotion. Strategies are outlined that aim to change cognitions, resulting in either a more appropriate emotional response or a suppression of the expression of emotion and any maladaptive behavioral consequences. These techniques comprise selfstatement modification, imagery, socratic dialogue, corrective experiences, self-analysis, didactic approach, storytelling metaphors and poetry, reframing, cognitive paradox, and use of problem-solving skills. Furthermore, given the changes in physiological arousal accompanying certain emotions, it is also suggested that general arousal control strategies could play an important role in emotional control.

“…In most cases, the study of the relationship between emotion andperformance has been oriented toward an analysis of the influence of emotion, particularly precompetitionemotion, on performance. To our knowledge, few studies have described theemotions actually experienced during competition and the way they influence athletic activity(e.g., Jones, Mace, & Williams, 2000;Robazza, Bortoli, &Nougier, 2000;Ruiz &Hanin, 2004;Syrja¨ ,Hanin, &Tarvonen, 1995). Several authors (e.g., Cerin, Szabo, Hunt, & William, 2000;D'Urso, Petrosso, &Robazza, 2002;Hanin, 2000) have nevertheless insisted on the need forstudies on the emotions actually experienced during competitions since emotions are modified byactions and the events that one encounters while competing.…”

Objectives: To characterize the contents of emotions experienced by elite table tennis players during highstakesmatches and the situational elements that contribute to these experiences.Design: A four-case study. Method:Three top-level table tennis players from the French Men's Table Tennis Team volunteered toparticipate in the study. Four matches were studied.Procedures involved: (a) videotaping high-stakes tabletennis matches, (b) conducting self-confrontation interviews with players after matches, (c) transcribing theplayers' actions and self-confrontation data, (d) decomposing their activity into elementary units, and (e)videntifying typical contents of emotion and typical emotional situations.Results: The contents of players' emotions varied during matches. The pleasant or unpleasant tone ofemotional content was linked to the set result and the interpretations of the unfolding situation. However,other elements of the competitive interaction (score configurations, judgments about the strokes performed)had a strong emotional coloration. Certain similar events (e.g., bad sensations during stroke performance)were frequently coupled with similar emotional content (e.g., displeasure).Conclusions: Until quite recently, the predominant focus in sport psychology has been on pre-performanceemotions, with far less attention paid to the subjective emotional experiences that occur during taskexecution. This exploratory study provides initial empirical support for the notion of bidirectionality inemotion-performance relationships.

“…Non-midfielders and forwards were more nervous than defenders and mid fielders. The latter, in turn, were less confident than de fenders [134].…”

Purpose. Using databases available on the Internet, the number of scientific papers on the subject of field hockey were examined. Basic procedures. As a result, 208 scientific studies covering the fields of biochemistry, physiology, sport injuries, psychology and tactics were found, which were published within the last 50 years (from 1960 to 2010). Despite the popularity of field hockey and its status as an Olympic sport, the number of scientific studies which focused on field hockey was much smaller when compared to the amount of publications on other team sports, such as soccer, basketball, or baseball. Main findings. It was found that the greatest number of pub lications (61.06%) originated from five English-speaking countries (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), with the majority focusing on sport psychology, injuries and biochemistry. What was discovered was that the vast majority of scientific studies used field hockey merely as a reference point in comparison to other team sports. Conclusions. The varying topic diversity of the scientific stud ies found among the databases significantly hinders an effective comparison of findings, especially considering that most of the studies focused on only a few selected aspects of the problem matter and were chiefly small sample studies, nor were they repeated.
