EQ= Emotional quotient, also known as Emotional intelligence.
Popularized by authors like Daniel Goleman, emotional intelligence (EQ) has been established as one’s ability to guide their thoughts and behaviors by identifying their own emotions and understanding the emotions of others.
Player EQ is a nonprofit dedicated to developing and empowering mentally strong youth athletes. Player EQ was created by sports parents with a desire to curate different perspectives around the influence competitive sports has on young players and the parents/coaches who care about them.
Our goal with Player EQ is to cultivate a resource for sharing articles, interviews and discussions around raising mentally strong players in a very competitive youth sports atmosphere.
We can empower our children and ourselves with positive mental tools and emotional armor to become stronger through our sports experiences and learn from the process.
Player EQ exists as a resource for parents, coaches and players to explore the mental and emotional impact of how our families experience the most positive lessons from the competitive sports journey.
