Impactul tehnicilor de comunicare online asupra pregătirii psihologice a sportivilor. Abordări, posibilități și limite

Abstract

Today, online communication techniques have become a necessity, especially because of the impact that the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic has on the whole world. We are living difficult times in all aspects of life: social, economic, health, educational, etc. Various activities that we were carrying out before the pandemic were either interrupted or required a drastic change in organisation and development. These activities also include sport competition training. The training of athletes required, first of all, a break, which is an extremely difficult stage because dynamics of training a performance athlete should not have these interruptions for indefinite periods. Moreover, there are situations in which competitions take place without an audience which can have a major impact on self-esteem, but also on the athlete's confidence in the competitive evolution. Thus, the constant search for solutions on psychological training methods in this difficult context should be a priority for both psychologists and the entire athlete training team.
