NOC; Tehran: The event was organized by the National Teams Monitoring Center of
the National Olympic Committee and held at the Paralympic Conference Hall. The session
was led by Dr. Reza Shajie, Director of the National Teams Monitoring Center.
Fifty male and female coaches attended in person, with an additional 20
participating online.
The
workshop featured both theoretical and practical components, with contributions
from Dr. Vahid Nakhaei Moghadam, Ahmad Ghazi Asgar, Secretary of the Psychology
Commission, and Dr. Naser Pirverdizadeh, the course director. Recognizing the
critical pressures coaches face during competitions and their impact on
athletes and technical staff, the seminar addressed strategies for stress
management, building resilience, making necessary predictions, handling
environmental and non-environmental stressors, and emotion control, among other
vital aspects. These specialized sessions for the Nagoya-bound coaches are
scheduled to take place every Monday. The following week’s session will
concentrate on managing preparation and training periodization, at the same
venue.
