Elite competition can be stressful because the outcome is so important to the competition. We can measure stress using a whole range of physiological indicators such as heart rate and temperature and responses such as changes in the intensity of our emotions.
The stress response is probably not restricted to elite athletes. Intense emotions are linked to trying to achieve important goals and while it isn’t the only situation where it occurs. It’s just very noticeable in sport.
The leading candidate that signals we are experiencing stress is anxiety, characterized by thoughts of worry, fears of dread about performance, along with accompanying physiological responses such as increased heart and sweaty palms. Emotions provide a warning of threat. So if you fell that achieving our goal is going to be difficult, than expect to feel intense emotions.
STRESS CAUSING REASONS
It makes more mature and sense to focus on what that causes of stress are rather than where we experience it. The principle is that the more important the goal is to achieve, then the greater the propensity for the situation to intensify emotions.
Winning content or going on a date relate to higher order goals about how we see ourselves. If we define ourselves as ‘are a good player ’or‘ being attractive or likeable’ then contrasting information is likely to associate with unpleasant emotions. You will feel devastated if you are turned down when asking someone out on a date, for instance, and if this was repeated, it could lead to reduced self-esteem and depression.
The key message here is to recognize what your goals are and think about how important they are. If you want to achieve them with a passion and if the act of achieving them leads to intense and sometimes unwanted emotions, then it’s worth thinking about doing some work to manage these emotions.
