If Marcell Jacobs managed to get the gold medal at the Olympics in the 100 meters surely he owes it (also) to his Mental Coach, the first to be thanked by the athlete after the triumph in Tokyo. We are talking about Nicoletta Romanazzi, who in his career has followed many sports professionals: from the football player Stefano Sensi to the freediving champion Fabio Russo, and from Viviana Bottaro, karateka of the national team, to the blue swimmer Edoardo Giorgetti.
Her destiny seemed already sealed: born in Rome in a family of other times that ardently desired a man to whom to entrust the future destiny of the home business, she passed her adolescence convinced that only by satisfying family expectations she would be accepted.
Thus came the choice to enroll in the Faculty of Economics, even if psychology has always had the upper hand. Before finding its way, however, it remained behind the desk for ten years, in the role of Board member at the family business.
With the arrival of his three daughters, that type of work was no longer compatible with his daily life or with his passions, especially since he had started in the meantime. practicing sports coaching with two of his girls, athletes at good levels of rugby and horse riding.
And so that interest, which had always held a special place in his heart, had begun to find its way. Her dreams were shaped by a lucky encounter that led her to attend a coaching course: since 2005 she has been a sport and life coach, mental trainer and breathing facilitator.
The first professional experience was with Andrea Mari, a jockey of the Palio di Siena who could not win, “One of the funniest experiences of my life”. Nicoletta Romanazzi has never stopped studying and updating, she founded her school, and has enriched her curriculum: “Integral knowledge and techniques acquired over the years”He said in an interview, to tailor his own path to each individual athlete. “Each path is unique, they do it themselves. I play the role of facilitator whose first aim is to make them autonomous “.
Thanks to Marcell Jacobs, Romanazzi has become one of the most famous people of the moment: “This gold is a crazy possibility of visibility for mental coaching itself. They should teach it at school, we would all live better if we learned to recognize and exploit our potential by accepting inner weaknesses ”.
