The Power of Energy

I am intrigued by the concept of the power of group energy, either from a team standpoint or from a fan perspective. I have used an approach to help a team, taking advantage of specific players' enthusiasm and belief, which are contagious, but haven't yet really considered the affect of the fan base. I've been very effective in helping players ignore distractions and I now think that was neglectful of me!

This interesting documentary delves into the invisible force that creates the "home advantage" and proves that invisible forces connect people at a distance!

"With personal insights from Red Sox players, confessions from Fenway Park fans, observations from noted baseball commentators, and interviews with prominent scientists and energy medicine clinicians, The Joy of Sox will prove that the well-known “home field advantage” is the result of more than just loud noise and familiar settings. New research into remote attention, healing prayer, and interpersonal brainwave interactions will reveal how invisible forces connect people to bring about peak performance. Actual computer studies performed at Fenway Park will prove the existence of invisible “fan energy” and its impact on their team, and viewers will even learn simple techniques to boost their cheers’ impact."

What do you think about how a fan base can positively affect an athlete and have you utilized this?
