Counselling athletes with poor anger-based aggression and violence management skills

Author:

Abstract

This article is aimed at alerting sport psychologists to the problem of poor management of anger-based aggression and violence in some team contact sports athletes. It uses an infamous violent incident from the 2014 rugby league Super League Grand Final as a way into a discussion about anger-based aggression and violence. Details of the violent incident are described and the possible reasons why it occurred are examined, followed by a discussion of cognitive interventions sport psychologists could use to assist athletes whose individual and team performance is negatively affected by similar anger-based violent outbursts against opponents.
