Para Athletes
Mental performance in para sport cannot be separated from the body. Pain, fatigue, spasticity, altered sensitivity and limited recovery can change movement, attention and technical trust before the athlete fully notices it.
The body may change first
Movement, balance or sensitivity can change before the athlete consciously feels that something is different.
Fatigue is not lack of motivation
Reduced intensity may be an attempt to protect the body and preserve enough resource for the whole competition.
Control is often compensation
When body feedback becomes less predictable, the athlete may try to control every movement more consciously.
