We learn a lot from athletes, especially when what we talk about with them does not seem to have an immediate positive result. Unfortunately or fortunately, our work as sports psychologists has a long-term effect and rarely an immediate one. Instead, there is often a demand for immediate help that is thought to be satisfied if there is a winning outcome.
And it is difficult to accept that the result of our intervention corresponds to long-term work and results in visible improvements, but which at first glance do not seem as radical as we too often hope.
It is no accident that we talk about mental training otherwise we would be talking about magical practices that transform people in short order. This approach is not easy to accept but this is the road that can lead to success, with particular reference to those sports that do not have a translation of international success in our country.
The work is long and often also frustrating because there are many obstacles starting with injuries and the habit of not fighting the best in the decisive moments of competition. But this is the way to go, to fight smartly and never stop having faith that the impossible will thus become achievable.
