About the lecture
The presenter, Dr. Haberl, will offer a personal and practical perspective on pressure and mindfulness at the Olympic Games. Comparing and contrasting applied experience from 10 Olympic Games with research findings and traditional practice recommendations in the field of applied sport psychology, this presentation will aim to address a key set of questions:
- What exactly is pressure and how does pressure impact athletes at the Games?
- How do athletes prepare to cope with pressure?
- What role does mindfulness play in that preparation?
- How and why is mindfulness used and at times misused and often misunderstood when it comes to dealing with pressure at the Games?
- What is the true currency of performance?
- How can we train mindfulness to protect the true currency of performance?
