For the psychology of sport
There are numerous measures that are being taken in our environment to improve the quality of sport, both to concretize the minimum training of technicians of different levels and areas, and to promote their professionalism, as well as to promote specialisation in the sports field of health professionals. All these measures are designed, in the end, to ensure the well-being of athletes.
Suppose our son or daughter breaks his ankle in the field; or that he loses consciousness by a blow to his head; would we find it acceptable that the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up be made by someone who is not a medical graduate? So why don't we apply the same criteria when we talk about psychology?
To the lack of knowledge of the discipline of sports psychology, and to the lack of practical opportunities for students, the figure of the coach must be added. At present, we constantly find examples of sports associations receiving the services of sports coach.
It could be said that in our geographical context the psychological discipline of sport is relatively recent, although it has a greater tradition in other countries. However, I know the psychologists who loved the sport and specialized in this field (we were), who make great efforts to work in this field. Some have been more fortunate than others for having coincided with sports associations that have believed in this work. However, it is really difficult to act in a discipline that is not yet normalised between us. Moreover, it is possible to carry out sports practices for students of Psychology. In fact, a criterion established by the university, with common sense, is the presence of a psychologist as a tutor in the sports entities in which the students practice. Unfortunately, there are few psychologists in this field and many students have to do internships in other fields.
To the lack of knowledge of the discipline of sports psychology, and to the lack of practical opportunities for students, the figure of the coach must be added. Today, here and there, we are constantly finding examples of sports associations that serve the services of sports coaches. Coaching is an aspect of psychology, a methodology that allows you to acquire different skills and resources for people management. Many sports psychologists are also coaches, but not everyone who is a coach is a psychologist. That is, they have not received university academic recognition to apply psychology techniques with people. We want to continue working to give quality to the sports field, beyond high-level sport, to promote the well-being of all people at the beginning, old age, injury prevention, functional diversity, inclusion, gender relations, etc. However, in addition to psychologists, it would be good if those who participate in the selection of people to perform this work also did this reflection.

When we were young, we had a thousand games to play on a day-to-day basis. Some of us played running, some of us played with the ball, the dolls, the rubber or the words. There's a game where we played with words, I've realized it's going to be for life. We don't realize that we're... [+]

Through the Wallapop app, I sold some mediocre loudspeakers before the summer. Maybe the product description was a little swollen, it's true. The shopper put me three out of five stars. It was clearly not worth it.

I was once in the burial of a friend's father. Our friend asked us to take a flower from the bouquets, if they wanted to. I can't say no to flowers, let alone roses, especially red flowers. So I took a beautiful red rose.
