“…Researchers have found that experienced SPCs manage themselves by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet Elsborg et al, 2015;. In support of these findings, Cogan, Flowers, Haberl, McCann, and Borlabi (2012) advised SPCs to never skip meals, sleep, or exercise. In addition, Halliwell (1990) acknowledged, in his reflection piece, that staying fit helps him be an effective SPC.…”

“…In his commentary, noted that sharing ideas and concerns with other SPCs in the same sport environments enables him to stay informed on the new research being published and incorporate creative approaches to his practice. Furthermore,Cogan et al (2012) indicated that, during the Olympic Games, being able to talk to a colleague about a stressful situation can help SPCs effectively deal with negative emotions and get back to work.…”

Sport psychology at the Olympics: The case of a Danish sailing crew in a head wind

Performing your best at the Olympic Games is a unique and stressful challenge for all involved, including athletes, coaches, and sport psychology practitioners. This paper provides a descriptive account and personal reflections of a sport psychology intervention aimed at helping a sailing crew perform at the ultimate event. The paper describes the specific strategies the sport psychology practitioner used to help the two sailors prepare for, and perform at, the Olympics as well as to cope with their disappointment after the Games. While the preparation went smoothly, the crew experienced a significant head wind (metaphor for adversity) during the Olympics. The present case is an example of the scientist-practitioner. The intervention was based on a clear theory, the cognitive behavioural tradition, and came from an evidence-based perspective. After the Games, the intervention was evaluated methodically. Based on this evaluation (alongside several similar ones), the sport psychology team of Team Denmark has decided to assess the integration of mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches into service delivery and to include these perspectives in the team's professional philosophy. Key components of such interventions include staying in the present moment, accepting the multitude of thoughts and feelings that arise without necessarily acting on them, and clarifying personal values alongside a commitment to act on these values. These processes are no less important for the sport psychology practitioner who is expected to remain calm and focused-and to never bend even in the strongest wind.

“…Efter OL foretog det sportspsykologiske team en grundig evaluering, hvor vi diskuterede enkelte atleter, interventionsmetoder og hvad vi kunne have gjort bedre. Mens refleksion over egen praksis selvsagt er vigtigt, bør disse refleksioner kombineres med samtaler med kollegaer (Cogan, Flowers, Haberl, McCann, & Borlabi, 2012).…”

At præstere til De Olympiske Lege (OL) er en unik udfordring for både atleter, trænere og sportspsykologer. Denne artikel er en personlig beskrivelse af og refleksion over en konkret sports-psykologisk intervention. Interventionen havde til formål at hjælpe en sejlerbesætning til at præstere ved OL, den ultimative sportsbegivenhed. Artiklen beskriver de specifikke strategier, som sportspsy-kologen anvendte til at hjælpe to sejlere med at forberede sig, præstere og håndtere livet efter OL. Be-sætningen oplevede, at forberedelserne frem mod OL gik godt, men under OL oplevede de en betyde-lig modvind (metafor for modgang). Denne case er et eksempel på tæt sammenhæng mellem forsk-ning og praksis. Interventionen var et eksempel på evidensbaseret praksis og den efterfølgende evalu-ering fik betydning for fremtidig praksis. Efter OL blev interventionen evalueret og på baggrund af denne evaluering (samt mange flere) besluttede Team Danmarks sportspsykologiske team at integrere mindfulness og mere acceptbaserede tilgange i deres praksis og i teamets professionelle filosofi. Nog-le af nøgleelementerne i denne tilgang er; at være tilstede i nuet; at acceptere at tanker og følelser kommer uden nødvendigvis at handle på dem; samt at afklare sine personlige værdier og leve efter dem. Disse processer er vigtige for atleter, men lige så vigtige for sportspsykologen, som også for-ventes at være rolig, fokuseret og stå fast – selv i den stærkeste vind. Nøgleord: Olympiske Lege, sejlads, sportspsykologisk service, kognitiv adfærdsterapi i sport mindfulness og acceptbaserede tilgange
