Is it a physiotherapist / nutritionist, they claim to know everything but now the coach’s approach has also changed, they ask for physiotherapists, injury management, test performance.
“Now they have started accepting the opinions of other domains.” They want to take opinions from fitness and conditioning coaches .
When their athletes don’t feel good, they want a mental coach, so all sports acceptance as the main sport where athletes have been put on par with the other athletes without defects, it also makes a big difference, “he said.” Everything has fallen in place With this medal and our experiments have succeeded, “he said.
