Mental Coaching for Champions: Is It Key?

Loïs Boisson, supported by a galvanized crowd and also helped by its steel mind reached the semi-final of Roland Garros. She, who was hitherto an unknown, achieved a feat. A few weeks later in Wimbledon, Loïs Boisson, who now has a name to defend, was eliminated from the first qualification phases. In his case, as in that of other athletes, how the mind has played?

As the Paris Olympic Games approaches last summer, many athletes also mobilized, in addition to their usual coaches, representatives of a new profession: preparers dedicated to psychological issues. Mental coach: essential asset to become a big champion?
