To manage the olimpic final

To know how to manage the Olympic final is the incredible into the incredible. First, because it is an exceptional result to get it, then why should not get mentally exausted. It may seem strange that it could happen but it happens more often than one might imagine. It was probably the case of Arianna Errigo in the fencing final,  for Scozzoli in swimming and Occhiuzzi in saber. The athlete may not be ready for this final test, there has been exhausted for that goal and he/she does not have any more. These athletes would be useful to a sports psychologist who helped them find their mental energy required to fight at their best and to be determined to win. My personal memory goes back to when an athlete before the final Olympic in shooting, which was entered in the top six, told me he had nausea, which had no more energy and did not know what to do. My response was to remind him in a few minutes all he had done in previous years, the sacrifices to achieve that goal and that was the moment to go and do what he knew. He did it and won the silver meda.
