Mental health is essential for athletic performance, which is why the U.S. Olympics and Paralympic Committee expanded its mental health services significantly.
Dr. Kweku Smith describes his demanding role at the Olympics as the longest day in the world, akin to sleepless final exam weeks in college.
The Mind Zone, featuring VR technology, provided a Zen environment for athletes to mentally prepare for competition, focusing on audience engagement and breathing regulation.
The athlete resource center offered individual visits and various relaxation activities, helping athletes take breaks from the competition tension.
