Soccer must be adapted to environmental realities in which it’s proposed

At Tehran for the 2nd International Congress on Science and Football with the participation of FIFA President Mr. Blatter and many great coaches clearly brings out the need for training systems are house suitable to the environmental and organizational realities in which you work. In fact, the main mistake to avoid is to copy the models of the big European teams, because the reality in which they might be established are very different from those in Europe. In this respect it was reminded of a Velasco’s phrase that well describes the approach that coaches and executives should have: “the reality is what it is and not what you would want to be.” Only by starting from this approach coaches and managers can be useful for the development of soccer in many countries in Asia. For what concerns myself, personally I held a workshop on “The relation between coaches and players.” Tomorrow another two titled “The mental coaching for football players” and “Improving concentration in football teams.”

Psychological support to Iranian athletes for the Olympics and other major games is planned and supervised by the Center for Counseling and Mental Skills Training, located at the National Olympic Academy in Tehran. For the 2012 Olympic Games, personnel were Mohammad Khabiri, Yadollah Farhadi, Khosro Hamzeh, and Ali Reza Farsi, who were appointed almost a year ahead of the Games. They met with all national federations whose athletes had qualified for the Games to assess their needs. The federations of Boxing, Taekwondo, Weightlifting, Archery and Canoeing each had a sport psychologist appointed to the team, who organized workshops, individual and group counseling, and profiling. No psychologist accompanied the Iranian delegation to the Games.

The Iranian Paralympic team returned home with several medals and lots of memories. A group of certified sport psychologists, led by Mohammad Vaez Mousavi , supported the paralympians in the preparation for the Games. In training camps there was a daily program to assess and develop mental skills. Clinical issues were also addressed with the help of clinical sport psychologists. Dr. Mousavi accompanied athletes during events in London. According to medalists who were interviewed after the games, proper psychological preparations was one of the major reasons for their achievements. Iran ranked 11^th among more than 140 countries taking part in the Games.

Un’esperienza di psicologo in Asia

Published on December 11, 2010 in Generale. 0 Comments Tags: Asia, psicologo, tiro a volo.

Non capita tutti i giorni di essere invitati a tenere delle lezioni e delle sedute pratiche di preparazione mentale in Asia. Infatti, la Federazione Asiatica del Tiro a Volo organizza la prossima settimana a Teheran un corso di formazione per allenatori di quel continente. Come esperto in questo ambito della psicologia dello sport, insieme alla medaglia olimpica Ennio Falco e a Marcello Dradi allenatore dell’India, sarò impegnato a illustrare come organizzare un programma di allenamento mentale con gli atleti di alto livello e a fare provare sul campo come si attua. E’ un’opportunità che dimostra come il nostro lavoro di psicologi dello sport sia apprezzato e riconosciuto nel mondo degli allenatori … ma in altre parti del mondo. Al mio ritorno racconterò com’è andata.
