Abstract
Objective: Positive emotions could fuel psychological resilience following Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory (2001, 2004). In association football, conceding a goal can be a psychological setback to players or teams for which they need to be resilient. The current study examined the association between non-verbal behaviors players express after scoring and the ability of a team to overcome conceded goals. Design and method: Post-scoring behaviors of a goal scorer and his team were video-analyzed of 3 87 goals in 153 matches ofthe last three FIFA world cups (2002, 2006 and 2010). Results: 11.8% of the teams that conceded a goal were able to overcome this setback and eventually win the match. Overall, players expressed themselves extensively after scoring, but self-oriented rather than team-oriented. One of nineteen positive expressive behaviors was expressed more often by teams that overcame conceded goals compared to other teams. Conclusion: The findings suggest association football players barely express positive emotions to each other. It is recommended to raise awareness of potential benefits of positive expressions and to coach players and teams in using them.
