Emotional Intelligence

By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living

Table tennis is a sport that requires emotional intelligence in playing, bearing in mind that this sport is unique in that it requires a player to think hard and improvise in play.

Players are required to be able to modify a situation that arises, both from within and from outside us, both during training and when competing to achieve achievements.

The player's ability to regulate his emotions with intelligence will maintain emotional harmony and its implementation through self-awareness, self-control, self-motivation, empathy and social skills.

Having self-awareness in carrying out training programs, being able to control oneself so that the emotions that arise are not excessive, being able to motivate oneself to excel, being sensitive to the feelings of others and being able to take advantage of them in moderation, being able to work with coaches as well as supporters is an indicator that these players have emotional intelligence the good one. With these abilities, a player will be able to manage aerobic/moving endurance to support playing performance. Manage emotions when playing so that the game is easy to control. Of course, the main key remains persistence and discipline in practice.

Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
