What is the impact of stress on performance?
Stress is one of the worst enemies for individuals who practice sports at a competitive or amateur level. Not only the stress that accumulates during physical activity, for example in the pre-race or in the most intense periods of training, but also everything that invests us during the day.
Research findings on performance and psychological treatment approaches to manage stress:
Our psychologists adopt a range of evidence-based practices grounded in neuroscience, cognitive-behavioural theories (CBT), acceptance and mindfulness-based sciences. We enjoy adopting mindfulness-based practice, which is a type of meditation that allows for the reduction of cortisol, the stress hormone. By practicing mindfulness routinely and consistently, we allow our body to learn to relax and manage stressful moment in a healthier way. Research has shown competing under stress to have a negative impact on athletic performance (read full article here). We work with the individual to establish goals and strengths to improve performance and life achievements.
