Abstract

The effect of Emotional Intelligence and its six components- Self-awareness, Self- management, Internality, Motivation, Empathy and Social skills was studied on performance in team and individual sportspersons. It was found that emotional intelligence varied significantly in high and low achievers as well as in team and individual players, the interactive effect was also found to be significant. In the dimensions of motivation, internality, self-management and self-awareness the difference in team and individual players was not found to be significant while on the basis of level of achievement the two groups differed in all the five dimensions except social skills, this shows high emotional intelligence in sportspersons is resulting in high performance and success.
