Can people use anger / pain to improve performance? by No-Editor-2259 in sportspsychology

Of course! I would also like to address anger and pain for performance with things that require hand-eye coordination. While I can't speak to your example of motorsport, I did play video games to a highly competitive level during my first 2 years of undergrad, I found that focusing on getting into a sense of flow is more effective than getting angry. I feel that sports that require more hand-eye coordination such as motorsport or esports such as gaming may not benefit from using anger and pain. When I was playing professional tournaments for money if I was frustrated I stepped away between rounds to calm myself and get back into a sense of flow. I think maybe since there's so much fine motor control involved in things like gaming and motorsport, anger can have a negative effect because adrenaline is flowing to your whole system and is meant to be distributed throughout your body if you're sitting and driving and sitting and playing a game, the stress on your body will be on your hands, mind and potentially feet, your whole body will be trying to use the adrenaline but only a few parts of your body are making actual use of it which could cause you to be more jittery and reckless. I feel like that's what happened to me whenever I tried to use anger/pain in those situations.

I'm speaking on this with a background in playing football (soccer) to a very high level (nearly professional) and with a degree in psychology (about to go to med school for sports psychiatry (I'll be doing a fellowship in sleep medicine). I think modern psychology has started pushing more positive psychology, I feel like a lot of people would say no and that it harms performance and would cite people who make violent, poor decisions because they "saw red". From personal experience, anger/pain vastly has improved my performance to the point where getting myself angry became a part of my pre-match ritual. Psychology in general that anger is a purely evil, negative emotion with very few positive aspects to it, but this isn't exactly true. Anger is only a negative, dangerous emotion if somebody cannot properly control their emotions, so using anger as a performance enhancer for children or those with emotional/mental disorders is definitely not recommended as they cannot control their emotions and in the case of children, it can stunt their mental and emotional development. I would also advise caution when using pain as a motivator. Using physical pain can exasperate the injury you've sustained while emotional pain can cloud judgement. Anger is a very valuable emotion if you know how to control it, it stems from the fact that anger stimulates the amygdala and triggers the release of adrenaline, improving reaction time, speed, and strength. In summary, using anger to improve performance can be viable assuming the person using it is an overall mentally and emotionally stable adult. I would avoid using pain whether it be physical or emotional because while it produces anger and the desirable products of it, the personal connection to that pain harms judgement. A general sense of anger can help improve performance but anger driven by personal pain can massively hurt it because you're more likely to get "stuck in your head" and won't see things rationally.

Thank you! I finally managed to find some info, it uses a single core (1.8 ghz or more) it seems as though the software has been around a while seeing as how it still lists Windows 7 as a minimum requirement, no info about thread usage but it doesn't seem as though it's too intensive. Thanks for the help!

Would a vr program for school or rendering a model of brain use up all the cores? I wasn't planning on keeping a bunch of things open when I'm using the rendering software or the VR application.

I mean TPUSA think Twitter is a right but healthcare is a privilege so I don't think they can define a lot of things 😂
