Is there strong research that demonstrates the effect of emotion on performance in different types of sports?

Many people discuss the physical toughness and attributes of athletes, while there is also plenty of anecdotal evidence about how 'mental toughness' can impact on the performance, especially under pressure or at times when people perform beyond their apparent physical capacity.

Just wondering if there is much literature on this area of sports medicine/research, and what the results indicate for different types of sports or sport person.
