A growing demand for sport psychologists
With the issues of mental health, violence and activism in sports on the rise, more athletes and teams are seeking the expertise of sport psychologists
By Kirsten Weir the article of American Psychological Association
Working with athletes from different sports disciplines like shooting, diving, walking and fencing in the days before the race, leads me to think that the peacefulness (serenity) is for them an important factor to compete at their best. I don’t consider peacefulness synonymous with being calm. Is, in my opinion, being aware of:
In this sense, the race has to be understood as a succession of instants that run continuously until the end of the performance, but the concentration is always on the present task, not in the past, not in the future.
For all of us there is a lot to think on these issues being spoken too little, sometimes too busy to teach only the psychological techniques to deal with the competitions.

If this is true, as I believe it, we’re done:
What should be done instead?
The offices of the resources are no longer working culture. We have become factories of placement. Companies no longer ask where a good advice for a profile could go on to say that the profile was not right. Now they ask only names, names, names. They know that if the first does not accept, the second doubts, the third takes. Companies must begin to turn to ethical job offers, practical opportunities, and not the teasing that for obvious reasons, many are forced to accept. We must return to accept job offers that are ethicals. We have to start doing it again a work culture, just where there is none.
This also happens in sports, if you write an email to the sport managers not ever get an answer. You will receive an answer only if someone will introduce you to these people. It ‘s the Italian system based on co-opting for direct knowledge and not on the base of your job profile. Nobody is interested in your curriculum, what you need is the friendship of someone, because the sport organizations are not interested in the function (in this case of the sport psychologist), but it will establishe an employment relationship as a favor to a friend. In Italy the so-called war for talent does not exist, it dominates the culture of familism. When from the business world to the sport this approach becomes so frequent you can just go away.
