                            <p><p>The final session of Day 1 explored what wellbeing, psychology and mental health looks like at the Chicago Bulls, through the eyes of Dr Wendy Borlabi, and Dr Kate Hays at the English Institute of Sport [EIS].<\/p>\n<p>Borlabi has been with the NBA\u2019s Chicago Bulls for more than six years but took her latest role, as the Head of Performance &amp; Mental Health, just weeks after the regular season was suspended in July 2020. Her appointment signalled that mental health and wellbeing would be key components of the Bulls\u2019 ongoing rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>Hays has been instrumental in delivering the EIS\u2019 psycho-social service provision since the beginning of the pandemic. This process includes the collaborative efforts of the EIS\u2019 Psychology, Mental Health and Performance Lifestyle teams to enable the phased return to action for athletes across the 40 Olympic and Paralympic sports with which the EIS works.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is important to stabilise an athlete\u2019s confidence. Confidence, according to Borlabi, will: \u201cebb and flow but, essentially, it is always inside\u201d. Hays concurred. She also said: \u201cConfidence is multi-faceted \u2013 people can have different types of confidence. People can be confident about different things and derive confidence from different places. When we try to encourage people to develop a robust confidence bank, what we\u2019re trying to do is ensure they\u2019re pulling their confidence in from many different places.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Constraints-based learning is a useful tool when working with athletes to transfer their skill from training to competition. Hays said: \u201cIf an athlete\u2019s skill is not transferring in certain contexts there is likely a difference in the behaviour, emotions or the cognitive thought processes that are taking place. The best way to prepare anyone for something in life is to prepare as many environments and as many different contextual constraints as you can.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>It is not just female athletes that crave an emotional connection with their coaches \u2013 prioritise the providing of safe spaces when building skills and confidence. \u201cIt\u2019s more age-related as opposed to gender,\u201d said Borlabi. \u201cThere is a shift in athletes wanting coaches have the credentials to take you from point A to point B \u2013 that was the priority in the past. Now I see more of the connection with the coach; they want to have the relationship. In my opinion, that\u2019s to do with age. They\u2019re coming into the NBA at 17-years-old; they\u2019re babies, they need that nurturing and someone who\u2019s going to take them under their wing, ask about them or visit them and their family at their house. When that trust is there then the coach can expand and ask them to go out of their comfort zone and challenge them because there is trust built on those social aspects and emotions.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":2369,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2368","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
