Emotions are an integral part of human behavior, so it comes as no surprise that they can play a significant role in athletic performance. From the pre-performance routine to in-game emotional management, athletes and their performances are impacted by the emotions that are, in part, influenced by their environment.
The SERR Model shines a spotlight on the connection between thought, emotions, and performance. Understanding the connection between how our emotions, stress, and self-talk are directing our performance is critical in being able to proactively train how we manage our performances.
