agree about the anger directed at oneself – maybe that’s more an asian thing.

(i think.) one other thing is the kind of anger that the article didn't talk about - anger directed at oneself. a lot of vb players i've talked to and i myself often play badly, then get really pissed at ourselves, and that helps focus us in the next match and play a lot better. the article is clearly addressing athletes far, far better than i am, but yeah, anger helps if you can focus it. i used to have a bad habit of finding someone to be peeved at during volleyball games, and sometimes it would help and sometimes it would hurt. nowadays i’m more mellow.
