With the Olympic games now well underway, many commentators and voices on social media are discussing tapering. By effectively integrating a taper into their training program, athletes can ensure they are physically and mentally primed to perform at their best when it counts the most. However, as athletes reduce their training volume and intensity, they may experience a range of emotional and mental struggles that can impact their confidence and performance. It’s important athletes and coaches acknowledge this as they go through the process of tapering #olympics #paris2024 #tapering

The concept of the Olympic Athletes' Village, has become a cornerstone of the modern Olympic experience, fostering camaraderie and cultural exchange among competitors.

The evolution of sport over the past few decades has seen a significant shift towards a more scientific and specialised approach to athlete development. In the past, athletes often relied on a single coach or a small team to address all aspects of their training and preparation. However, as the understanding of sports science has advanced, the need for specialised expertise in various areas of an athlete's development has become increasingly apparent. Today, elite athletes benefit from the support of a multidisciplinary team of experts, each dedicated to a specific aspect of their training and well-being. #coaching #athletedevelopment #multidisciplinaryteam

Luis de la Fuente's approach has been praised and has resulted in a more dynamic and resilient squad capable of adapting to different opponents and match situations.
