Cuando nos referimos a la práctica deportiva en sí, y más aún en alto rendimiento es fundamental tomar en cuenta los factores psicológicos que rodean el rendimiento del deportista.

Es allí donde la Psicología como ciencia que estudia los procesos mentales que originan una conducta ha tomado relevancia en el quehacer deportivo, ya que ningún atleta al momento de entrenar y competir en la disciplina deportiva en la que se encuentre, puede obviar la influencia que el factor psicológico tiene.

La psicología deportiva debe enfocar sus estrategias de intervención en el hecho de que el deportista se desenvuelve en diferentes contextos que le influyen en su rendimiento deportivo y el logro de sus metas.

Estos ambientes o contextos van desde el familiar, social, deportivo e inclusive existen distintos actores como los entrenadores, árbitros, jueces y padres que de una forma u otra cumplen un rol que afecta el aspecto emocional del atleta.

Además, la psicología deportiva va a enfocar sus estrategias en el hecho de que el deportista pasa por distintas fases en el desarrollo de su disciplina, que van desde el entrenamiento, la pre-competencia, la competencia, post-competencia y el tratamiento psicológico ante lesiones.

Hello Sports Lovers, this time I wanted to venture into this community that encompasses the sports field in its different disciplines.

When we refer to the practice of sports itself, and even more so in high performance, it is essential to take into account the psychological factors that surround the athlete's performance.

This is where Psychology as a science that studies the mental processes that originate a behavior has taken relevance in the sports task, since no athlete at the time of training and competing in the sport discipline in which he is, can ignore the influence that the psychological factor has.

Sport psychology should focus its intervention strategies on the fact that the athlete develops in different contexts that influence his sports performance and the achievement of his goals.

These environments or contexts range from family, social, sports and even there are different actors such as coaches, referees, judges and parents who in one way or another play a role that affects the emotional aspect of the athlete.


In addition, sports psychology will focus its strategies on the fact that the athlete goes through different phases in the development of their discipline, ranging from training, pre-competition, competition, post-competition and psychological treatment for injuries.

El rendimiento deportivo va a implicar un aspecto lleno de subjetividad por parte del atleta, lo cual va a ser clave en su desempeño, y es allí donde la psicología deportiva ofrece herramientas como la visualización, técnicas de relajación y respiración, y otras que estimulen a que los pensamientos y las emociones puedan derivar en conductas donde se consigan las metas deportivas por las cuales se ha entrenado.

Los psicólogos deportivos representan un apoyo crucial en el cuerpo técnico ya que su rango de acción no solo va a favorecer al deportista sino a todos lo que ejercen influencia en él, es decir sus entrenadores, padres, compañeros de equipo y las organizaciones.

In order to achieve optimal sports performance there must be an interdisciplinary work where the sports psychologist establishes support strategies and psychological guidance for the athlete to achieve the management of emotions, anxiety, frustration, motivation, low self-esteem, depression and any other psychological condition manifested by the athlete.

Sports performance will involve an aspect full of subjectivity by the athlete, which will be key in their performance, and that is where sports psychology offers tools such as visualization, relaxation and breathing techniques, and others that stimulate the thoughts and emotions can lead to behaviors that achieve the sporting goals for which they have trained.

Sport psychologists represent a crucial support in the coaching staff since their range of action will not only benefit the athlete but all those who influence him, i.e. coaches, parents, teammates and organizations.

La generación de expectativas es mayor porque buscan mejoras de calidad de vida a través de la practica deportiva, desde el punto de vista social y hasta económico. El deporte se ha convertido en medio de escape ante situaciones familiares y sociales que estamos viviendo.

Realizar la práctica psicológica en el ámbito deportivo implica conocer las diferentes disciplinas y el comportamiento psico-fisico y emocional del atleta en cada una de ellas.

El psicólogo deportivo es un complemento al trabajo que realizan metedólogos, entrenadores y preparadores físicos, aportando de forma integral lo que es la preparación mental del atleta.

In a country like Venezuela with so much sporting talent, it is necessary that psychologists seek to specialize more in this area and remember that although they have the tools for psychological treatment can not ignore that the athlete has a rhythm and a very different emotionality than one who does not practice a sport and even more of high performance.

The generation of expectations is greater because they look for improvements in the quality of life through the practice of sports, from the social and even economic point of view. Sport has become a means of escape from family and social situations that we are living.

Practicing psychology in sports involves knowing the different disciplines and the psycho-physical and emotional behavior of the athlete in each of them.

The sports psychologist is a complement to the work done by meteorologists, coaches and physical trainers, contributing in a comprehensive way what is the mental preparation of the athlete.
