Does it make you faster, stronger, technique better, more disciplined? Nope.

I played multiple sports team and individual. Never got beat by a rah rah type fella, used to love seeing running around screaming at each other. Trying to convince each other they can change the ship direction.

Nope, that ship sailed the week and months and years prior.

Yeah, you are right - emotion doesn't ever help in football.


It may not have ever helped you, but for a lot of players emotion is important whether it's the emotion of the crowd, something extra to play for, fear of losing, bigger game versus smaller game, etc. People aren't robots - emotion, motivation, etc. does matter and can affect performance. Adrenaline created by emotion can actually have a positive physical effect so your statement that emotion can't make you faster or stronger is actually not entirely true.
