The relevance of a good affective and social environment

In an interview with La Stampa today, the Italian diver Tania Cagnotto explains how important it is her social environment: “I distinguish very well life from the pool, a podium would make me feel in heaven, but my life is another thing and it would not be affected in any case. My boyfriend, my friends, my parents, it will not change anything for them and those are my significant persons. ” Speaking of school friends that following her in London she says: “I like the idea of sisterhood, understanding each other, share. It’s a micro-community from which I take energy. And to complete the support women there will be even my mother. ” It confirms once again the role played by her own social and emotional environment for the athletes of the highest level. This is nothing new, it happens all over the world, and should be remembered to those coaches who say that children are best to train are the orphans, because they have not parents who are protesting.
