Every days 1.000 readers

The dissemination of sports culture also occurs through the dissemination of ideas and experiences concerning the psychological and relational aspects of sports.

This is the principle that guided me in building this blog. In this month I am happy because I reached 11,235 different visitors and 30145 contacts.

It means having every day more than 1,000 people who read this blog, and I thank them because they suggest to me that sport psychology also arouses enormous interest when it is proposed in a non-shouty and superficial way. This is also confirmed by the 153,145 contacts I have achieved in these first six months of 2022.

I thank those who follow me and hope to continue to arouse their interest.

How to coach mentally in this new lockdown phase

We are again experiencing a period of difficulty to train and compete, moreover for many sports these opportunities have been totally cancelled and the athletes are at home or at most in the parks to train themselves only physically.

This situation generates concern and anxiety in everyone and in the athletes the loss of their daily activities and competitions creates even more negative emotions. They run the risk of believing that there is nothing else to do but suffer the present and wait!

There is no bigger mistake than thinking in this way. On your own, however, it is difficult to react to these thoughts that penetrate in the mind.

For this reason I have built a mental training system to regain confidence and control of thoughts and emotions. It is a practical system, composed of exercises that improve personal self-control. It certainly takes time, 30 minutes every day, but it is a training and the results, as for any other skill, can be obtained only with daily practice.

Who wants to receive more information about this system, its duration, activities to do and achievable results can write to this blog and will be contacted.

I suggest to abstain to those who think it will be easy or not time consuming.

The blog is a way, for me, to spread ideas and information related to the context in which a professional works. In this case, it is psychology, sport, movement, wellbeing, coaches, parents and young people. Each blog is a brief tale of something that has influenced me, and it describes a different way to stay in the sport daily life.

I write the blog with the goal to look for everyday situations starting from their small expressions. It’s a kind of thinking aloud concerning responses to what has just happened, with the awareness of being disconfirmed from what it may happen in the near future.

 

 

Reached 1.000 blogs

I’ve reached the number of 1.000 blogs, beautiful experience because writing forced me to think in a synthetic way with the aim of elaborating comments and ideas are not trivial and not based simply on common sense. Sport in all its forms, from easy walking to the top level is a serious matter and requires that all participants develop, through their practice, an adequate sports culture founded on two basic ideas:

  1. movement is life and
  2. improve is legitimate but at the same time we have to know how to accept our limits as they are.

If we learn to practice the sport with this attitude it will be easier to accept the difficulties and failures that are part of it. We also need to become aware that sport should promote personal well-being and not being practiced at its expense (doping and culture of the “only who wins has the value”).

New blog about running

London Marathon

The British newspaper “The Guardian” decided to open a new blog regarding the running, I found it very funny and interesting and I recommend reading: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2013/feb/05/welcome-to-guardian-running-blog

The blog: The Sports Science

Ross Stucker and Jonathan Dugas, experts in sports science who live in Cape Town and Chicago respectively, analyze in depth the main events of athletics, cycling, tennis, Olympics and doping. We can read them in their blog The Science of Sport. They believe that science is nothing without the application and therefore their purpose is to provide analysis of performance sports where there is evidence of how scientific knowledge support and help to explain the athlete results. Of course it also talks about doping and then of how science can be used to alter performance. It’s a site that provides a lot of documented information, with the aim of bringing sports supporters the themes of science.

I leave you with a questionnaire that they have developed to highlight 2012 key events by means of questions related to sports covereb by The Sports Science: http://www.sportsscientists.com/
