A conversation with Christoph Herr, sports psychology expert and coach of the U21 women's national football team
Top athletes are winners. They are celebrated as heroes in the media and by fans. But of course athletes are only human. With challenges and new tasks our mental strenght can grow, but we can also become ill if the pressure is too high - or at least it can prevent us from using our full potentials. For a long time, mental illnesses in competitive sports were only noticed on the sidelines. However, the topic has become increasingly important and sports psychologists and coaches are hired to support professional atheletes.
Christoph Herr works as a sports psychology expert. As the person responsible for the DFB Academy of Sports Psychology, he supports the U-21 women's national soccer team in developing their mental strength. In this event, Vice President Prof. Dr. Francesca Biagini will join Christoph Herr to talk about how to deal with performance pressure and stress in everyday life, what our environment positively contributes to it and what role togetherness plays. He will also talk about effective strategies to promote one's own mental health.
After the talk, participants will have the opportunity to ask Christoph Herr questions.
