The Power of Coaches' Emotions: A Case Study on How Coaches' Facial Expressions Impact Performance of Female Synchronized Ice-Skaters.
Psychology of Sport and Exercise 2024 April 26
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of coaches' pleasant and unpleasant facial expressions on affects and team performance of elite female synchronized ice-skaters.
METHODS: Initially, the coach provided a neutral exercise explanation, followed by the athletes' performance. The ice-skaters then received a pleasant or unpleasant feedback from the coach, completed two questionnaires, and performed the exercise again. The study involved two familiar and two unfamiliar coaches.
RESULTS: Coaches' pleasant expressions increased athletes' arousal/hedonic tone and positive affect, while coaches' unpleasant expressions heightened athletes' negative affect. Moreover, participants significantly performed better after receiving a unpleasant facial expression by the coach. Receiving pleasant/unpleasant feedback from a familiar or unfamiliar coach did not have a significant impact on team pre- and post-feedback performance.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that coaches' facial expressions impacted athletes' positive/negative affect, and that receiving unpleasant feedback from the coach can improve team performance.
