Today Giovani Malagò presented its program to the presidents of the sport federations and the press as candidate at the next election of president of Italian Olympic Committee. I read the article by Fulvio Bianchi (www.repubblica.it) and it seems to me that Malagò has hit an important aspect that concerns how to come out of sports and financial scams. But … when it comes to sports? Malagò said that the medals are important but not everything. I agree with, but why he does not speak:
lack of training of coaches (mainly oriented on the techinical aspects of their sport but not on the leadership in the differenet ages) and there is not training for the coaches of high level,
which model of long-term athletes development the Olympic Committee should take,
how to re-train those athletes who leave the sport while still young could be directed to other disciplines (this is the model adopted by the British Committee successfully in preparation of the Olympic Games and that led it to find about 100 new national athletes with more than 70 medals in international competitions)
how to reduce adolescents drop-out than in girls begins in the sixth grade,
how sport psychology is totally excluded in the Institute of Sports Science (the only case in the world), when at contrary the coaches of the national teams ask an expanded mental preparation of their athletes,
how to build specific programs that allow athletes to train to successfully deal with their life after sport.
