It became loud about this question to Iga Świątek. “It gave some information”
Daria Abramowicz referred to this matter. – (question about beads in the hair – ed.) Gave some information, for example, how a given player is seen. Or how women’s tennis is perceived at all, and like male. I don’t want to go into these motives. The player must build her own resources to function effectively in this world – said Psychologist Iga Świątek in an interview with WP SportoweFakty.
– Of course, you should also take care of healthy relationships based on mutual respect, with media representatives, find yourself in this world. This is another element of work with athletes – certainly in tennis, because not in every sport discipline a player is dealing with the media at such intensity. Suppose Iga plays 85 matches annually. This means 85 conferences. And even more, because they are still in front of the curiosity – noted Abramowicz.
She added that in addition to building resources, the player must be aware that not everything can be controlled on their own. That is why teamwork is so important.
– Sometimes there are difficult situations, uncomfortable questions. At the same press conference, in the English part, questions were asked about uneven standards and discrimination. It was about the events after the Jelena Ostapenko match with Taylor Townsend. In such situations, the staff is important, in our case Daria Sulgostowska, who monitors and follows what is happening on the web and not only and informs when it needs, because Iga especially during the tournament has no way to do it. This gives you the opportunity to think about, prepare, eliminate the element of surprise – summed up the thread of Psychologist Iga Świątek.
