Recovery is a key factor to win

In team sports, players compete a lot, often too many matches, and travel frequently. This happens to the European teams in the different team sports as well as for American teams who often play every three days. This is what comes out from the first day of the “International Week of Sport Psychology” held in Paris at the INSEP. To manage this situation the mental and physical recovery must become a priority, in order not to have players on the pitch tired or absent. It is therefore important that the teams are able to acquire those psychological techniques permitting them to turn off the mind from the game and recover through the use of relaxation techniques. Very few teams in the professional world has created an environment in their sports center, the mind room, where players can play this activity to mental recovery. It’s important that managers and coaches improve their awareness of this need and do not think that the solution is only to have more players so as to be able to maintain an effective turnover.
