Often in my business speeches, I use sports as an example. I share my experiences alongside great champions, inside their minds and mine. www.alessandrovergendo.com
The challenge is not with the other person, with an antagonist, but the real challenge is to become better ourselves.
The limit is often a bar set by ourselves. There are no opponents to defeat, but talents to express and free within us. It’s incredible how present nocebo effects are in athletes. The mental parachutes, as I call them.
Today, even neuroscience can explain well what they are and why they affect us. Yet many professionals in sports and business don’t take them into account in their performance or are unaware of them, except for the effects.
In fact, many times the problem doesn’t come from the athlete, but from the educators, from the team’s professionals. Often, a lot of energy and resources are wasted, which practically results in a limitation of performance and the quality of the experience.
This is even more evident in team sports, amplified by the emotional contagion that develops.
