found adequate for the athletes' emotion and mind management, (2) the
counseling and psychotherapy programs recommended during the tournament were several
single session modified techniques such as single session EMDR, single session
CBT or solution focused therapy, combined with psychological stabilization

together with physical and skill exercises which were suited to sport event
typology in order to achieve maximum performance, (4) more sport psychologists
