Psychological conditioning: Programming to win.

In the area of sport, the psychological dimension is vital. The basic character of the athlete is multi-faceted: since an individual is complex by nature, we can envisage all kinds of scenarios. This explains the diversity of responses shown by athletes to competitive stress. 

In our courses, we see that all the answers are in fact the result of an illogical way of thinking. Then we will see how to put things back in place to finally reach what Timothy Gallwey calls "Zen sport." This real mental training comprises both practical conditioning outside the sporting activity (relaxation, visualization), and on the other hand exercises during sports activity, leading to a state of mind on the court which combines mental strength and concentration. 

"If you have not included the victory in your way of thinking, you will win perhaps once by chance and at the price of superhuman effort." 

The Olympic champion can be recognized immediately on exiting the Appeals Chamber. The race is often just a confirmation. 

With the help of our internships you will learn to manage :

• Pre-competitive stress (anxiety)
  
• Pre-competitive stress (doubt) 1. Fear of losing ...
