These days I am in Taiwan working with the national shooting and volleyball team in preparation for this summer’s Olympics in Paris. At the same time I also conducted two days of workshops with coaches and sports psychologists. As always in these situations what is appreciated is not so much the explanation of psychological theories but the ability to illustrate how a mental preparation program is organized and conducted. There were many questions about how one works to prepare for major international events and how one handles pressure in the most important moments of a competition, especially finals. Another focal point was also regarding the practice of psychological preparation during each training session and how this should be carried over into competition.
