🧠How to get into the right headspace to be successful in sports? It needs training, just like muscles.

🗣As sport psychologists we start our intervention with an assesment of athlete's mental skills (read more about it in our previous post).

👉🏻The next step is to set up goals and create an 'action plan' for the next weeks or months of regular sessions.

💪🏼You're the expert when it comes to your needs, feelings, thoughts and you know best what works for you and what does not. During our sessions we present to you adjusted tools and help you to acquire them properly- in a safe space, and then also during training and competitions.

💙Monitoring progress can't be skipped. Everyone is different and what we offer is an individual aproach, regarding factors like self-development, monitoring progress and life-long learning.

💪🏼Each aspect of your work must be finished with visible results. Because this is why you do it, right? To try your best and overcome limits in your sport career and just be fullfilled, in the moment.

So this is how it looks, not that complicated, would you agree? If you're interested in one-on one sessions with sport psychologist, contact us!

In the meantime, why don’t you test Athlete’s Cards app to improve your mental skills?

In the previous post, we introduced Lesyk's model of 9 mental skills of successful athletes.

It shows 3 sets of skills, that athletes use throughout their carriers and training cycles.
👉🏻Basic Skills are useful in a daily practice an for setting long-term goals. These are: Attitude, Motivation, Goals and Commitment, People Skills. They are the foundation for future top performances.
👉🏻Preparatory Skills are something you can use just before any chosen situation (including competition). With some training they can be available for you whenever you need them. Mental Imagery and Self-Talk are used to set you up for the best performance on a competition day.
👉🏻Performance Skills, like Concentration and Managing Emotions and Anxiety are crucial at the moment of your actual performance.

❓Do you know that burnout affects athletes as we

❓Do you know that burnout affects athletes as well as coaches? 👩🏻‍💻🔥

📚Raedeke, Lunney & Venables (2002) define burnout as a form of sport disillusionment caused by a reduced sense of accomplishment, exhaustion and sport devaluation.

There are 5️⃣ groups of symptoms:
▪️affective (depressive mod, hostility);
▪️cognitive (helplessness, focus and memory deterioration);
▪️physical (exhaustion, injuries);
▪️behavioral (absence, decrease of performance);
▪️motivational (lack of enthusiasm).

🤩How to prevent burnout? Madigan (2019), Gustafsson et. al. (2017) agree that it is important to maintain a work-life balance. Also - friends and family play an important role as a great source of support. Psychological interventions should cover mainly CBT and ACT techniques, increasing intrinsic motivation, mindfulness, and coping with stress.
🧠Prevention is the key!🔑

What are some of the most helpful techniques used

What are some of the most helpful techniques used by sport psychologists at the Olympics?

It turns out that the most important task is to stay in the present! 🙏🏻

🇺🇸Sport psychologists from the U.S. Team revealed some of the techniques that they use in their work:
💨breathing techniques
🧘🏻‍♂️mindfulness
❓analyzing “what if” scenarios
🗣cue words and instructional cues.

🦸🏻Superhero posture develops higher self-confidence! 💪🏼

Yes it’s true! ☝🏼Straightened back, raised chin, slight smile allow us to feel more confident - not only in sport! 🔥⚽️ Research confirms that (i.e. Briñol, Petty & Wagner, 2009). In tougher moments it is important to navigate your thoughts but also take care of how our body looks! 🤩

This week we have Anna and Magda working with youth football players on a training camp. They practice various skills and of course - the superhero posture!🦸‍♂️

What helps you stay confident in difficult moments? ⚡️

🧠What does a sport psychologist do at the Olympics?😱

Olympic Games are an event where you only use previously practiced techniques. This is a time where you base your performance on what you did during the preparation period!

Therefore, sport psychological interventions are short-term ones⏱, aimed at finding solutions.

☝🏼It is important to define the experienced difficulty first. Next, we refer to past experiences - „what usually works in simmilar situations” or „how did you handle a simmilar situation in the past?”. The next step is to define the change-related goal - we try to navigate athlete’s thoughts into what is controllable and precise, i.e. breathing pace, muscle tension, focus. And finally we move on to choosing some well known techniques which can be helpful in current situation! 💪🏼

🏆What is your favourite mental training technique?

🏆Do you follow the @olympics ?🥇

Preparation period for the Games lasts 4 years, which makes it a unique sporting event, described by many as the culminating moment of a sporting career (McCann, 2008). 🎯

🧠Many psychologists have conducted research about the psychological requirements of competing at the Olympics (i.e. McCann, 2008; Elsborg & in., 2015).

🇺🇸McCann (2008) conducted interviews with the U.S. team. Based on them, it was possible to define 5️⃣ categories of issues faced at the Olympic Games. We can easily conclude that competing at the Olympics is not only about coping with stress or being mentally tough, but also a list of other challenges! 😱

❓Which of the stated issues do you consider most challenging?
