Abstract
Emotions are elaborate reaction patterns made up of sensory, behavioural, and physiological components. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to understand and control emotions as well as their perception, integration, and management. Resilience is the ability to positively respond to a situation. Its components are significant adversity and fruitful adaptation. As a result, resilience can be demonstrated in situations when there is a significant amount of risk, regardless of the industry. Being an athlete means that a person is always competing, going through winning and losing phases, and experiencing a lot of stress during their training period, but they are still expected to return to psychologically normal functioning thereafter. This study measures the ability of athletes to understand their emotions and how well they strike back into the field. There is no significant gender differences across both the variables. Positive correlation is present between Emotional Intelligence and Resilience.
