DECIDERE SOTTO SFORZO con Fabiano Bettega | SOMAMENTIS

In MTB Orienteering, it's not enough to just go fast. You have to read a map, choose the route, manage mistakes, and stay clear-headed while your body is straining. In this episode of Somamentis, we host Fabiano Bettega, an athlete on the Italian MTB Orienteering national team, Italian champion, and World Cup winner, to talk about performance, decision-making, confidence, and managing the unexpected. With him, we also delve into the relationship between athlete and coach, recounting a journey of growth built over time through shared work, mutual trust, and the constant pursuit of performance. Between international successes, a serious foot injury, and a more recent heart condition treated with ablation, the portrait emerges of a sport in which the physical and mental components are inseparable. As always, in the final section, we connect the athlete's experience with the scientific literature on sports science and sports psychology. Somamentis — the podcast where body and mind meet. 🎙️ Hosted by: Simone Bettega, PhD in Sport Science & Endurance Performance Coach Ilaria Pradel, Sports Psychologist at Dr. Michele Facci's Psychology Practice 🔉🎧 Mix & Master (to address our inability to sit still with the microphone): Emanuele Frison 📩 Coaching Info: [email protected] 📩 Psycho Info: [email protected] FOLLOW US ON: 📸 Instagram:   / somamentis_podcast   🎞 TikTok:   / somamentis_podcast   #somamentis #psicologiadellosport #sportscience #podcast #orienteering
