Abstract:
The need and importance of emotional intelligence are advocated through many scientific studies. But so far profile of sports-specific emotional intelligence has not been created. With a keen interest in Kabaddi, the researcher constructed a profile of sports emotional intelligence of intercollegiate female Kabaddi players of Vidarbha region. To conduct the study 60 intercollegiate female Kabaddi players were selected from Vidarbha. The average age of intercollegiate female Kabaddi players was 22.19 years. Emotional intelligence inventory for sportsperson prepared by Agashe and Helode (2008) was used in this study. It was found that the majority among intercollegiate female Kabaddi players had a moderate level of sports emotional intelligence followed by intercollegiate female Kabaddi players with a low level of sports emotional intelligence and lastly with high sports emotional intelligence. It was concluded that intercollegiate female Kabaddi players of Vidarbha need psychological training so that their sports-specific emotional intelligence can be enhanced.
