A special report on player performance

It is undeniable that?player performance is at the core of the success of any major sport.?When players compete to the best of their ability, the quality of the game increases, and therefore starting different flywheels ignites the sport's growth, including fan attendance, merchandising sales, and commercial opportunities.

During World Football Summit Europe 2022, there was an exclusive workshop led by ThermoHuman?with a group of top-tier football industry professionals.?The subsequent report gathers the information, expertise, and insights from that workshop on the dynamics currently impacting the realm of player performance.

"Mental resilience" is a key lever to optimize player performance

Optimizing for player performance has taken on a whole new meaning over the past few years. It is not only about achieving peak “physical” performance, mental awareness and overall well-being have been found to be just as important.

So, for this week's episode, we bring you this amazing panel with 5 top-tier sports industry experts, including:

• Kristen Holmes - Vice President, Performance Science at WHOOP
• Dr. Meeta Singh - An expert in the science of sleep, who actually visited the podcast on episode 4 of The World Football Summit Podcast
• Agustina De Giovanni - Director of Mental Performance and Culture D.C. United
• Matteo Bartalucci - Head of Medical Services at Formula Medicine
• Thomas Roos - Entrepreneur, Professional Triathlete & Science Consultant?

In a panel moderated by Alejandro Sánchez, from the Real Madrid Business School at Universidad Europea.

You will see them talk about:

• The factors that help develop?“Mental Resilience,”?such as sleep and self-awareness.
• The critical?importance of sleep regularity, sleep debt,?and the challenges in the sports industry which prevent athletes from achieving it.
