Topic: Mental Health Awareness in Sports
.
Sneak peak:
"Psychological health and well-being are important concepts to review for both the general athlete population and also for elite athletes and peak performance. Professionals in the top ranks of performance fields often forget the value of enjoyment, while performance becomes paramount. For example, extrinsic motivation (money, fame, awards, praise) can drive a person to perform well, and we know that those factors are at play at elite levels of sport. However, research shows that this type of motivation undermines satisfaction and enjoyment, and therefore is unsustainable in the long term. Some argue that it is a necessary skill to learn to perform well even when not enjoying it—a type of grit or mental toughness. While it may be true that learning to cope with adversity and building resilience is important, chronically fighting these battles over time can lead to fatigue and burnout."

"And I say, put mental health first because if you don't, then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to, so it's okay sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself because it shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are."
Simone Biles.

🔴🧐In the above statement @simonebiles not only makes a choice which makes clear that she is a acting like an grate athletes connected to the Olympic games spirit, but at the same time brings out a message of wisdom, compassion and understanding towards all sport performance communities and high performance athletes.

🕊️A person able to articulate in such a way their choice for such a signficant occasion as the Olympic games stands a demonstration of mental growth and understanding. 🧠🧠🧭

🧭Setting healthy boundaries and taking responsibility of choice is mainly a trait found in a mature person.

🏔️🗿🕊️Points to consider:

⚡ Athlete's decision is probably a result of personal preference and an outcome of a team effort which supports the athlete throughout the road to Olympics. In the team we should include various scientists and specialists in the field effort and support.

⚡ Except the possible mental health problems related to previous traumatic events and enormous amount of stress of solely participating in Olympics games final series.

⚡There is also the possibility of serious implications related to mental health such as the "twisties" phenomenon which resembles to more of an organic nature.

⚡Now to evidence based theory and practice I would have to transfer you to @amyizycky where the human performance curve is on display for everyone to contemplate on it.

🌍🌎🌏 Everybody is talking about goal setting.

⭐ It is probably the most basic, still important form of regulation and motivation.

🧐 Goals could easily be misunderstood as a rigid set of guidelines that an athlete has to commit to with no regrets.

😒In other occasions they might be perceived as heavy load to carry out, specially when goal content does not serve with authenticity athletes needs and competencies.

🧙👩‍🚀 This is off course could be a coach-athlete dyadic issue asking for resolution.

⭐A valuable and useful scenario would be to establish goals linked to real life circumstances and demands.

👩‍🚀🧙Goals are meant to be set by the athlete. Aid provided by a specialist in sport psychology is suggested and its is part of our services in animo sport psychology.

Goals are set to serve as a guide for a time period. A system of navigation.

👩‍💻Goals are ought to be realistic and measurable. In lack of these elements how could an athlete bring them to fulfillment.

⚓Goals serve as places to anchor our ambitions and preferences.

⚓ Goals serve as buoy's towards the process of developing and advancing as an athlete.

And if we are to be good navigators in this sea of potential races and places,championships, fitness, recovery we should sense when our boat needs to set the anchor in a new place of concentration.

Goal setting is after all a continuous process through which each goal accomplished remains as a landmark of our grounded potential and each new goal set is about to be the ground of our accomplishments to come.

🧞Meaning that goals are ought to be considered as realistic, flexible and durable choices we make towards fulfilling outcomes of our potential future .

#noamiosaka #Osaka

A smash in mental health problems.

An alarming note towards all the high performance communities.

Naomi bravely brings about the topic of mental health problems that are common for athletes despite the level and type of sport.

It is a necessity to develop mental health care provision accessible for athletes.

Making one step forward and eventually surpassing stereotypical views that mainly focus on athletes personality based on levels of achievement.

And finally avoid solely cherishing the mental toughness side off the athletic behaviour while neglecting critical aspects that endorse athlete's emotional and physical health.

It is through difficulties that man is challenged to make adjustments and adaptations and eventually evolve and thrive.

The notion of overcoming, facing and challenging difficulties, is one the main notions we meet widespreaded among sports and high performance.

And this appears to be fine.

Thought what is of our concern is to sustain a regulatory system a form of day to day remembering of performers efforts and difficulties.

By keeping track of performance and psychological difficulties that arise we manage to take care of performers mental health.

Bypassing stereotyped and rigid mindsets that mainly recognise and focus on effort but not quality of rest and mental recuperation.

Thinking about possible future events is a portrait of probabilities

This broadcast at times becomes so vivid that is also felt in the body ( i.e anxiety,bliss,etc)

Maintain openess, willing to accept the probabilities your mind demonstrates

Maintaining a playful attitude in this world of thoughts as you modify the probabilities in your mind

Then you may decide which probabilities to keep and which to let go off.

. Mental Health & High Performance

Athletes need to maintain a baseline mental health status as much as physical health status.
.

Mental health is a right to health mostly underestimated and misunderstood by officials and institutions.
.
Before we reach the high performance we have to take care of basic psychological needs as they are major to mental and physical growth.

🏆Find me a great athlete poor in imagination and playfulness.🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸

🌿Take care not to get so serious leaving no space for imagination and play to come out.
There are to be found valueable staff to enrich your performance.

....................................................

Every good idea and all creative work are offsprings of the imagination, and have their source in what one is pleased to call infantile fantasy.

Not the artistic alone, but every creative individual whatsoever owes all that is greatest in his life to fantasy.

The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, a characteristic also of the child, and as such it appears inconsistent with the principle of serious work.

But without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth.

The debt we owe to the pay of imagination is incalculable.

C.G.Jung.

.............................…..…………
Lets approach the idea of perfection in sport with awareness. Lets reflect! 🧘

Sometimes it could look like a never ending task of reaching out to the ideal performance. Struggle
...........

How many times perfection (the best) might cast its shadow over performance🌚

Leading to stress- anxiety or a feeling of struggle to achieve the ideal-perfect.

Seeking .....
🎖️ the perfect timing
🎖️the perfect technique
🎖️ the perfect training schedule etc.

....🏵️....🏵️....🏵️....

The value of the ideal performance
is to be a guide and a navigator towards fullflling our aim.

In reality, it is usually a combination of a

♻️timing

♻️training style

♻️ environmental conditions

That delivers the best performance. 🏆

🌬️☁️As for the times that we may find ourselves overwhelmed by emotions related to not achieving or not reaching the expectations of the ideal perfect.

A useful practice would be honour to those things we achieve in the moment.

🌿Cherish the day.

From a standpoint of acceptance!
In a way that does not diminish the efforts but through enabling 🌝clarity, 🌞warmth and 😌understanding to our experience.

With a quality of honouring the effort put in every training, every drill, every tackle.

As this honour and acceptance is revealing the experience in the moment and allows growth to happen.🌿

Being flexible while building rigid steps of confidence.

Step by step 🚶

Get to know thyself as this will serve as a performance enhancement.🌱

We are perfect and imperfect in many ways this is the way we evolve.

➡️What does giving your "best" look like?

➡️What influences your "best"?

➡️We can you find ways to optimize your best together ?
