Tennis and impulsivity & anger management

Tennis – It’s a sport in which you need to show emotions in order to conduct your game, which requires: technical-tactical skills, explosiveness and intense competitiveness.

Let’s not forget that tennis is a perfect combination of violent gestures placed in a context of total tranquility.

However, this approach must not turn into impulsiveness and anger that have a devastating impact on performance, no one is able to manage them in their favor because they block the mind and any form of reasoning.
In this regard, tennis players make vocal noises or shout in the act of hitting the ball. Why?

  • To perceive to hit the ball harder. Through the shouting they give more strength to the shot.
  • Discharge the emotional tension of the moment.
  • Raise the volume of the voice to prevent the accumulation of stress.
  • Assert your dominance over that territory. Remember Tarzan’s cry in the forest?
  • Scare the opponent. The object of one’s aggression is the other who must be emotionally dominated.
