In a recent statement in the “Game Review”, the defender of Flamengo, David Luiz, highlighted the importance of mental preparation of football players. The topic has been gaining prominence on the sporting agenda and is treated as a priority in major clubs in Brazil and around the world. In football, a sport that demands both physical and emotional aspects, the mental aspect can be a differentiator both for performance on the field and for the training and career of athletes.
Increasingly, mental health is seen as a fundamental pillar for the development and evolution of athletes, especially in youth categories. In addition to technical and physical issues, the ability to deal with pressure, defeats and even harassment from fans and critics is a decisive factor. According to David Luiz, mental preparation should be seen as an extension of traditional training. For him, psychological support helps athletes maintain focus and develop resilience, essential qualities to deal with the challenges and adversities of sport.
FLAMENGO WINS ITS MOMENT WITH MENTALITY ENHANCED
No Flamengo, as with other elite teams, there is increasing attention to the emotional well-being of players. The board and technical team have invested in psychological counseling and multidisciplinary support, with psychologists and professionals specialized in mental training. The goal is to provide a healthy environment that builds athletes' confidence and allows them to perform at a high level consistently. This support is especially important for young talents, who are just starting their careers and still adapting to the pressure and intense pace of professional football.
The positive impact of mental health on sports performance is supported by studies and practical examples. Clubs and national teams that incorporate this approach have seen a reduction in stress-related injuries and an increase in athletes' ability to concentrate. In the case of Flamengo, the valorization of the mental side has helped to create a more solid environment for the development of new talents and for the recovery of players who face moments of fluctuation in performance. By integrating psychological support, the club demonstrates commitment to the comprehensive well-being of its players, helping to strengthen not only the team, but also Flamengo's image as an institution that supports sport.
