Federica Maldini: “Il ko di Arnaldi? le pressioni incidono sul fisico. E Sinner non è invulnerabile”

Psychologist Federica Maldini believes that pressure significantly impacts athletes' physical performance, as seen in Matteo Arnaldi's recent loss. She suggests that the mental strain can manifest physically, affecting a player's game. Maldini also commented on Jannik Sinner, stating that while he is a formidable player, he is not invincible. Her insights come from her extensive experience as a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and a mental trainer for the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation.

Understanding the psychological impact on athletes is crucial for improving performance and well-being in professional sports.
