Michael Kim recently made an interesting comment on the American Tennis player Coco Gauff. She has been making headlines recently after her tennis match against Elina Svitolina. Gauff was unable to maintain control throughout the match, which created tension, and she eventually shattered her racket in anger after losing. Kim responded to this by revealing that he has done a study and that this is not the right way to express anger.
The golfer added that after speaking with some psychologists and experts, he discovered that smashing anything in rage just produces adrenaline and increases heart rate. Kim further claimed that some people do such things to vent their rage and to demonstrate to everyone that they are far superior to this. The golfer’s X post stated,
“I’ve heard this many times, but most psychologists and experts will tell you that getting the anger “out” like this doesn’t work. It spikes adrenaline and raises heart rate from that action. I’ve also found, people do it for show. It’s a way of showing “I’m much better than this”
Michael Kim posted an additional note to the comments section of this page, emphasizing that he is not criticizing Coco Gauff and is simply presenting what he has learned. The comment reads:
“This isn’t meant to be a shot at Coco. I’ve heard this theory multiple times and wanted to share what I’ve learned and experienced.”
