I believe these Olympic Games are extremely important given what the world has faced in the last year-and-a-half. I am part of their working group on mental health… We started with a study on athletes’ mental health because there has been very little data available. The first tool is a sports mental health assessment tool, which is to be used by a medical practitioner or mental health expert. We have just finished a course for the mental health of coaches… I will give you a small example. If you carefully study the Youth Olympic Games, for example, they have really become an incubator for the actual Summer Games.
