288 How To Overcome Intense Emotions From Football
Manage episode 496451534 series 2939456
In a continuation of last week’s conversation, David Charlton and Duncan O'Brien discuss the impact of shame on athletes, particularly footballers. Self-esteem, the self-recognition of multiple-selves and self-compassion are also features of the conversation. They go on to discuss the impact of poor performances on an athletes’ mood. Solutions to shift perspective are discussed to aid the understanding of sport coaches and parents to support athletes effectively. They also touch on other strong emotions, such as anger and how to harness it.
Key Learning Points:
· Explore ways to normalise emotions and have open conversations about them.
· Developing an openness to learn more about yourself, your athletes or children is vital.
· Understanding and connect with the state of being at you best can transform your mindset.
· Potential dynamics where an athletic identity can become entangled with self-esteem and confidence resulting in negative mental health implications should be considered.
· Athletes should be aware of their own triggers and to have strategies for managing anger effectively.
