“…As far as the observed group difference in the selfappraisal of emotions and total EQ is concerned, the results of the current work may expand past suggestions that sports participation may foster the development of EQ (Szabo & Urbán, 2014;Zizzi et al, 2003) in that the training volume may be a mediating factor in this effect. However, causal inferences cannot be made from this study.…”

“…In a number of studies, higher EQ in athletes was associated with better performance in sports (Laborde, Dosseville, & Allen, 2015), including baseball (Zizzi, Deaner, & Hirschhorn, 2003), cricket (Crombie, Lombard, & Noakes, 2009), and hockey (Perlini & Halverson, 2006). At a personal level, a higher EQ was positively linked to the application of various psychological skills in sport, including imagery and self-talk (Lane, Thelwell, Lowther, & Devonport, 2009).…”

“…Further, a higher EQ was associated with pleasant emotional states before optimal performance, while a lower EQ was linked to negative emotional states prior to dysfunctional performance (Lane et al, 2010). Finally, evidence shows that athletes score higher on EQ than non-athletes (Costarelli & Stamou, 2009;Szabo & Urbán, 2014), that is attributed to athletic training in which participants need to recognize and control their own emotions and read and respond to opponents' or teammates' emotions (Szabo & Urbán, 2014;Zizzi et al, 2003).…”

Abstract:Emotional intelligence (EQ) was linked to sport participation. We report two studies in which we tested the link between exercise volume, defined as weekly hours of exercise, and EQ. Volunteers (n = 64 and n = 84) completed the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. In Study I, significant correlations between exercise volume and use-and regulation-of-emotions prompted us to use a posteriori grouping into high-and low exercise-volume groups. The former exhibited better use-of-emotions than the latter (p = .007, d = .87). In Study II, using a priori grouping, we replicated the finding from Study I (p = .001, d = .78), and the groups also differed in "self-emotions appraisal" (p = .05, d = .44) and total EQ (p = .017, d = .54). Since the items measuring the use-of-emotions involve motivational aspects of the EQ, we posit that this dimension is "naturally" linked to exercise volume. Our findings also suggest that self-emotions appraisal and the overall EQ are linked to greater volumes of exercise. These results should provide an incentive for longitudinal studies in this area.

Emotional intelligence is an important and popular concept within coaching. This randomised controlled trial investigated the short-term impact of coaching using emotional intelligence on three factors related to performance in athletes: anxiety, self-efficacy and team identification. Twenty high-performance netball players were divided into coaching and control groups. The coaching group completed the Bar-On EQ-i to produce emotional intelligence profiles that formed the basis of the solution-focused coaching session. Coaching improved self-efficacy and anxiety but not team identification. There was no change in the control group. Self-efficacy and anxiety are directly linked to scales on the EQ-i whereas team identification is not directly linked. The findings indicate that solution-focused coaching using emotional intelligence is effective, but only when a direct link is identified between a particular component of emotional intelligence and a particular outcome

“…However, research examining the value of emotional intelligence in sport is scant, with only a handful of correlational studies testing the link between self-reported emotional intelligence and performance outcomes. Generally, the literature supports the use of self-report emotional intelligence for better understanding the emotion process that guides athletic performance (e.g., Lane Devonport, Soos, Leibinger, & Hamar, 2010;Pearlini & Halveson, 2006;Zizzi, Deaner, & Hirschhorn, 2003) and coach efficacy (e.g., Thelwell, Lane, Weston, & Greenless, 2008) in sport.…”
