How many players have the Plan B befor the match

Published on December 19, 2016 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Olimpiadi, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments

The players are often assessed by the errors they committed. Less often they are assessed in relation to what they should do to be more effective and even more rarely they have planned before the match an alternative plan, Plan B, in case they are in trouble. This passive approach to the game can be determined by the desire to follow the guidance provided by the coach but this is schematically and not very active way to do it. In any case highlights an attitude of mental laziness, determined by not thinking about alternatives

In these situations the players should be able to activate an alternative way of thinking, which focused on the desire to effectively change those behaviors leading to commit errors. Players with a reduced level of personal awareness and a low self-esteem tend to be the most adversely affected by this attitude of passive acceptance of the tasks received from their coach. They are also individuals with a limiting ability to analyze more information in the same time. The effect on performance is to become impulsive in action, thus acting without thinking. Another type of useless reaction consists to follow the idea of not knowing to be able to deal with these situations, the resulting could determina the tendency to get depressed or absent from the game.

World ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments

Published on December 14, 2016 in Generale. 0 Comments Tags: ranking, scienze, sport.

ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments has been published few days ago. It is the first attempt to rank a group of institutions & units with the same subject focus. Since the publication of the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) by academic subjects in 2009, ShanghaiRanking has been constantly seeking ways to expand the subjects been covered. In June 2016, ShanghaiRanking produced rankings of universities in 7 engineering subjects in order to provide insights into universities’ academic competences in more subject areas.

The world’s sport industry is undergoing enormous growth. Using China as an example, based on Nielsen’s latest data, China aims to create an $813 billion sport industry by 2025 and Chinese companies and wealthy individuals are encouraged to invest heavily in sports events, teams, facilities, agencies and sponsorships, inside and outside the country. Sport Science schools equip students with knowledge and skills to meet the needs of this fast-growing industry, and also to create scholarly knowledge to support and inspire this industry. ShanghaiRanking choose to start its ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments.

A great amount of work is devoted to identify academic units, such as university, schools, faculties, and departments, which engage significantly in Sport Science research. A total of 110,000 unit addresses were examined and hundreds of websites searched to form the final list of 361 universities or about 400 sport-related units that actively engage in research. The top 300 universities are published in this ranking based on the measurement of publication, citation, citations per publication, top 25% journals publications, and internationally collaborated publications.

European universities dominate this year’s ranking list. There are 144 European institutions on the top 300 list. More than half of these units are from the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany with 45 units, 16 units, and 15 units respectively. Loughborough University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences is the highest ranked unit in Europe and is ranked second in ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments 2016.

103 institutions are from Americas. 64 of these units are from the United States and the country has the strongest presence in ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments 2016 than other countries. Also strongly performed, 25 institutions from Canada and 14 from Brazil are listed in the ranking this year.

Deakin University’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences from Australia took the first place in the ranking. 51 institutions are from Asia and Oceania and more than 90% of these institutions are from Australia, China, Japan, and New Zealand. New Zealand universities have outstanding performance as 6 out of 8 public universities from the country are presented in the ranking and AUT University’s School of Sport and Recreation is ranked in the top 30.

Two institutions are from Africa. University of Cape Town’s Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine is ranked 48^th.

Winning without thinking to win

Published on December 13, 2016 in Allenatori, Calcio, Generale, Mental coaching, Stress and Tennis. 0 Comments

Many people think that to win you need to compete with the idea of winning. When I explain that instead you have to compete, in any sport, staying focused on what it takes to compete at the best, many think it is wrong. The opposite is true. If you think to win you put too much pressure on yourself, because even if you perform at your best, it is not sure that the opponent does not perform better than you and then get the success. I recommend to see the video in which Arrigo Sacchi, former Milan and Italian team coach explains brilliantly this same concept.

Coaching goal: teach to react immediately to the bad momentum

Published on December 6, 2016 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Generale, Giovani, Mental coaching, Olimpiadi, Stress, Tennis and Tiro a volo. 0 Comments

To teach sport to young people who train several hours every day, it means teaching to face difficulties. Become an expert athlete is to know yourself at the best, and this happens only in situations that force us to be totally focused on the performances to be provided at any given time.

Those who practice a recreational activity have the goal to be immediately satisfied with what they are doing. Running in a park or have a walk in the mountains are made to personal choice and for the immediate pleasure that these activities will result, in any moment they can stop and then strat again when they want.

The athletes live a completely different situation, even if they carry out an activity that has been chosen and which provides satisfaction. The athletes are essentially the explorer of themselves. They must know and reduce their limits and works to reach the summit which will be able to gain through this exploration. They do not know a priori the result and even the point of arrival, assuming there is one. It has, in fact, to run the risk of failing while they work to be able to meet these expectations.

The athletes have developed this attitude towards sport when they know to be able to accept mistakes and negative moments. No one likes to make mistakes but they should know that they part of any performance. In those moments the goal is to provide a constructive response to the mistake. In those moments, the inner work is crucial, leading to park on one side of the mind what has just taken place, to refocus on the present.

Many athletes fail because they did not work enough in this work of re-focusing on the immediate future. In other words, they have not been trained to move from wrong to right to in the shortest possible time. So, training must be organized to develop this ability, otherwise the athletes will think that their limits are the mistakes. It’s not true! The main limit of an athlete is, however, not to show a fast and efficacy reaction to the bad momentum.

Eat better, less and all

Published on December 2, 2016 in Generale, Giovani and Stress. 0 Comments Tags: Barilla, cibo, dieta, mangiare.

France. And then Japan and Canada. Are the three countries where the food is the best in the world. Not for its own taste, but because these are - among the 25 countries surveyed, representing more than 2/3 of the world population and 87% of global GDP – the most virtuous in the produce, distribute and consume food. Are the countries where farming is more sustainable, they waste less food (and adopt innovative policies to fight the waste) and people eat in a more balanced way, without excesses and deficiencies, attentive to their own health and that of the planet. France gains the first place especially for its innovative policies against waste and for the balanced approach to food. Japan and Canada are the second and third place, thanks to their policies on sustainable agriculture and dissemination of correct and balanced diet. Bottom of the league, India, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which are facing the dual challenge of obesity and malnutrition.
Italy is a close to an honorable sixth place. It is among the top 10 countries for sustainable agriculture – with excellent performance for diversification in agriculture and the management of water consumption – and it is the European country that marks the best performance for greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture. In addition, Italy has indicated among the countries that are doing more to prevent the waste of food, as demonstrated by the law promulgated last August (together with France, Italy is one of the few countries to have a law that addresses this problem).
Less positive performance regards the nutritional aspects. In brief, we eat too much: we are the third country to overnutrition and in second place for overweight and obesity in the age group between 2 and 18 years. It saves us, however, the awareness – widespread in the population – of the importance of following a balanced diet and healthy, as the Mediterranean diet. Yet, just when the rest of the world celebrates this diet as the best on the planet, the data show that the Italians are leaving, especially the younger generations.
