Maria Psychountaki: Coaches in academies should have university education | 06 Mar. 2025

Maria Psychountaki, a psychologist and sports psychologist, and professor at the University of Athens (EKPA), spoke as a guest on the “Take Your Time” show on Voice of Greece, discussing the relationship of children and teenagers with sports, teams, and coaches. What should be the behavior of the people to whom we entrust our children? What is the role of parents who wish to build a healthy relationship with sports for their children that will last a lifetime? What are the common mistakes we make as parents in managing this issue, and how do we handle the dreams and ambitions of our children in relation to sports? These and many other topics were discussed by Mrs. Psychountaki in a very interesting conversation about a subject that concerns almost all Greek families.
