ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on preparing athletes for the Olympic Games and helping them perform during this pinnacle event is a challenging but meaningful key task for SPCs, and one in which they are expected and want to perform at their best. It describes an intervention aimed at helping a curling team perform their very best at Olympic Games. The purpose of the intervention was to prepare the national Danish curling teams for the 2014 Olympic Games. The teams' cooperation with the sport psychology consultant (SPC) started two years prior to the 2014 winter Olympics and lasted through the Olympic Games and ended approximately one month after the end of the games. The Olympic Games are simply unlike anything that the athletes have ever tried before, and often evoke new and difficult feelings and thoughts. To develop effective strategies for sport psychological support during championships, the decision to send the SPC to Olympic Games should be taken as early as possible.
