Our study tells us about emotional intelligence...
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you (Salvory and Mayer 1990). People with high EI can identify how they are feeling, what those feelings mean, and how those emotions impact their behavior and in turn, other people.
Existing literature suggests that there is a positive impact of emotional intelligence on athletes. Their EI is positively related or associated with their level of self-determined sports motivation (Sukys et al., 2019). Li et al. (2021) show that EI is associated with communication satisfaction. In their study, communication satisfaction is defined as the extent of a person’s satisfaction with various aspects of communication with someone else or within an organization. It is not difficult to assume that communication skills and motivation have a positive influence on many aspects of overall performance, especially on community service and leadership
