Abstract

Research shows a connection between negative perceptions of emotion, emotional suppression, and athletes' subsequent disregard for their health (Lee Sinden in J Relig Health 2010, J Clin Sport Psychol 4:241-256, 2012). In light of recent research, the following paper explores the structure and direction of emotion in order to break down historical misconceptions in elite sport. This paper also discusses emotional control, as a direction that can lead to suppression and health problems, and gives suggestions for emotion education and further directions.
