Psychological Support at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games:

A Case Study of the Para Swimming Team

Abstract

    In August 2024, I participated in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games held in France. In my position as a staff member of the Japan Para Swimming Federation, I accompanied the team in the form of providing psychological support to athletes and staff as my core duties. I report on the process up to that point, examples of psychological support related to the Games, the results of that support, and future issues.
    Four examples of support related to this competition are (1) Team building, (2) Psychological support, (3) Implementation of DIPCA.3, and (4) Conditioning checks.
