te's poten al development and the op miza on of the performance by ac ng on all the psychological
aspects and the reinforcement of the inherent technical abili es such as mo va on, self esteem, concen-
tra on and clear vision of objec ves to achieve. Anyway it was missing the organic development of a curri-
culum that made a Technical staff really capable of providing for complete support to their athletes also
from a psychological point of wiew.
