The V Congress of Psychology, Catholic University San Antonio, which this year focuses on the sport, has already exceeded its Ecuador.

In the roundtable on 'High Performance Sports' have participated athletes with experts in psychology, orthopedics and sports management: Carlos Cabezas, world champion basketball player in 2006 and UCAM Murcia CB;

Marga Crespí, bronze in synchronized swimming at London 2012;

Francisco Esparza, director of the Master of Sports Traumatology UCAM;

Enrique Garcés, sports psychologist;

and Pablo Rosillo, CEO of Sports of the UCAM.

Cabezas, who already has extensive experience as a professional player, knows the importance of psychological work to achieve the goals set. "In professional sport is essential to make a good group to achieve great successes The Spanish team that won the World was a group of friends and it showed on the court. "

He also commented on how important it is to manage the pressure generated on a computer by the environment: "We pressure every week Fans and media are noted must be prepared to live with the pressure..".

Dr. Francisco Esparza, used to working with elite athletes, opened a new line of debate to discuss the ability of athletes to endure pain. "The high performance athlete lives with the pain if it is well after training think you have not done a good workout. Your pain threshold too high and when notified that something hurts it hurts them more than we imagine others ".

Indeed, Marga Crespi could contribute in that line an experience that lived before the Olympic Games in London. "There is an important psychological training to deal with the pain in my case, I had a hip muscle injury and could not stop training because We were very close to the competition. I had to get used to train with pain because the goal was more important. "

On that ability to overcome difficulties, Enrique Garcés commented from his vision as a sports psychologist that "the athlete fits all and that makes it very easy to work with."

Another crucial aspect when competing, from the mental standpoint, is the safety of the athlete.

Paul Rosique knows many cases and therefore wanted to highlight: "The difference at some level the mark a few hundredths and that gives you the security of sportsman All these rituals that seem hobbies are not safe because they contribute to the mental factor is fundamental.. and psychology is very important to do so.
