Kicking off the training season for our Greek Water Polo team with a hands on mindfulness workshop! Staying present, perform in flow! 🧠 🌊

Inspired to keep raising the mental performance of our athletes together with our great team of sport psychologists from the University of Thessaly!

The key is always interdisciplinary work with our exceptional coaching staff, physiotherapists, strength and conditioning coach, physician, exercise physiologist 🤝

With great pleasure, I attended the grand opening of Isokinetic in Athens, a FIFA-endorsed Sports Medicine Clinic internationally recognized for its multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach to athlete rehabilitation.

Thank you for the invite . It is always inspiring to connect and share perspectives with top-tier sports medicine physicians and scientists who share the same vision and passion for athlete enhancement.

🎙️ Ευχαριστώ θερμά για την πρόσκληση και την όμορφη συζήτηση, !

Προς όλους τους γονείς εκεί έξω ένα μεγάλο μπράβο για τις θυσίες, τον χρόνο και την αγάπη που δίνετε ώστε τα παιδιά σας να ζουν τη χαρά του αθλητισμού και του πρωταθλητισμού!

Εύχομαι το podcast να αποτελέσει έμπνευση και αφορμή προβληματισμού για τη διαμόρφωση μιας πιο υγιούς και υποστηρικτικής σχέσης με το παιδί-αθλητή/ αθλήτρια, μιας σχέσης βασισμένης στην εμπιστοσύνη, τον σεβασμό και την ενίσχυση της αυτονομίας του κάθε παιδιού.

🚨 Published!🚨Proud and happy to share our new research study:

🧠🔫 “Strategic Self-Talk and Readiness Potential in Pistol Shooting: A Pilot Study on the Attentional Self-Talk Mechanism”

We found that instructional self-talk (cues words like “steady” or “soft pull”) can potentially:
✅ Improve shooting performance
✅ Help stabilise aim
✅ Prepare the brain more efficiently prior to shot release

👉 We open new research pathways toward linking self-talk to brain activity in sport research!

I would like to sincerely thank and express my gratitude for our research team from Italy 🇮🇹 and Greece 🇬🇷, especially my supervisors Dr. (President of Sport Psychology in Europe- FEPSAC) & Dr. Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis. Without their guidance and support this work wouldn’t be possible 🙏
