The in-person meeting of the European program "Road to Olympics" recently concluded in Madrid, with the participation of an Olympiacos delegation. The meeting aimed to provide innovative skills and cognitive training to high-level athletes from Ukraine and other countries. Utilizing a groundbreaking methodology developed by the International Center Taekwondo, the program seeks to foster the development and growth of athletes through a modern educational framework.

During the meeting, training sessions were also held, with Olympiacos athletes participating alongside Ukrainian athletes. One of the sessions focused on "mental training," a method that combines mental preparation with physical performance enhancement. This approach explores the interaction between exercise and concentration, training the athletes’ minds.

Supported by the European Commission through Erasmus+, the program was held during the European Week of Sport, Be Active. The next meeting is scheduled to take place in Greece in six months, where the research findings will be presented.
