Appearances on TV shows and video formats where our team members explain how Mental Training helps athletes with focus, confidence, stress management, and performance preparation.
A guest appearance on HRT’s show “Kod nas doma,” where Mental Training’s sports psychologists talked about athletes’ mental health, the pressure to deliver results, and the importance of timely support – from professionals to recreational athletes. The focus was on recognizing early signs of stress and burnout, common mistakes in handling pressure, and practical strategies for maintaining mental health throughout the season.
In a conversation with Vesna Mimica, the Mental Training team connected sports psychology with movement and the body: how the body reacts to competition stress, why awareness of one’s own limits is crucial, and how mental training can help both competitive and recreational athletes handle pressure and expectations more easily. The emphasis was on practical examples from working with youth athletes, elite sports stars, and their coaches, alongside the role of psychological support in preventing burnout and tips for taking the first steps toward change.
