Pressure for the American Basketball Team at the 2012 Olympics
After the USA team won the gold medal from the Beijing Olympics last 2008 and winning the World Championship in 2010, the players for this year’s Olympics are facing high expectations. The panel of judges had a hard time choosing the 12 players to represent the country. Although there are already some players that may be added to the roster, the people that will complete the list are yet to be known.
The players last Olympics were considered as a dream team by the people and it was no doubt that they will play to win the gold award. That is why the pressure mounts for the next team of players to bring home the victory. It is going to be a tough year also because other countries are up for the competition. This may be a reason for the coming players to feel anxious or depressed when the expected results are not met. Visit this website to know how depression and anxiety is dealt with.
