AI-generated Abstract

This study explores the psychological preparation strategies employed by the New Zealand Summer and Winter Olympic teams to enhance athlete performance in the unique context of the Olympic Games. It highlights the challenges athletes face due to the infrequency and multi-sport nature of the Olympics, which can lead to increased pressure and distraction. The implementation of a 'One Team - One Spirit' philosophy has fostered team unity, communication, and a supportive environment, resulting in improved athlete performance and satisfaction during the Olympic experience.
