Resilience in sports: Theoretical background, monitoring, and implementing new scientific insights

    Activity: Talk and presentation › Academic presentation › Academic

    Description

    Resilience is a process reflecting how athletes "bounce back" from stressors over the course of time. Such stressors can be diverse, ranging from heavy training loads to psychological setbacks. Given the importance of resilience for athletes, we have worked on the "Resilient Athletes" project since 2019, conducted in collaboration with different universities and sports associations and funded by ZonMw (see www.project-ris.nl). We will demonstrate how theory has found its way to practice, and how different professional sports clubs are currently using our tailor-made application to monitor and improve the resilience, health, and performance of athletes.
