For an athlete, going into a competition means giving it their all. What is being dealt with is the fine-tuning of their physical conditions in a variable environment, with the objective of achieving the best possible performance. All too often, the athlete, capable of sweating it out and overcoming pain and fighting exhaustion, is aware that, ultimately, the most significant effort comes from a muscle called the MIND, which, of course, must also be trained. In this sense, as professionals who interact with athletes, we must be able to understand an athlete’s holistic development, including the biophysical and psychosocial domains, and we must be able to apply this knowledge to training.
