Psychopedagogical and guidance counselling in the classroom and in sport
The importance of the Guidance Department in a school is fundamental. And it is at Casvi, given the tools it provides students, parents and teachers with to ensure that their time at Casvi is successful. Its task is to work to ensure that all students have an integral development. This will help them to achieve academic and personal success.
The same is true in the world of sport and therefore at Casvi Football Academy. A good psychological preparation improves the skills that influence sporting performance as a goal. We are referring to attention control, self-esteem, thought control, self-confidence or stress management. At Casvi Football Academy they are very clear about this. The better the psychological skills, the better the performance of the players in tactical, technical and physical aspects.

Vocational guidance from the Guidance Department in Casvi
At Casvi we are aware that the clearer our students are about their career goal, the more effectively they will work towards it. For this reason, the Guidance Department helps them to reflect on their professional vocation as early as possible. This serves as a guide and stimulus in their passage through Secondary and Baccalaureate. And it manages to guide their steps towards the most appropriate university choice.
Thus, vocational guidance is carried out in Casvi from Secondary Education onwards. In this way, our pupils can find out about their potential, vocation, professional interests and the possibilities offered by the outside world. They are made aware of possible jobs in the future and the training they need in the present to do them. This is carried out through all kinds of activities: tests, talks, university orientation fairs, meetings with former students…
Psychology Department at Casvi Football Academy
The Casvi Football Academy works psychologically on the “Izof de Hanim” model (zone of optimal functioning). The objective at a mental level is to find these zones in each psychological variable to maximise the player’s performance.
All this is complemented by the importance of the figure of our sports director, Nano Rivas. Former professional football player between 2000 and 2014, as well as coach of teams in the Spanish and Belgian 2nd Division.
His personal and professional development make Nano Rivas a perfect connoisseur of the whole trajectory that a player goes through from adolescence to professional football. This allows for a complete and broad understanding of everything that is necessary to develop a player to become an elite footballer. Including the psychological section with topics such as overcoming, frustration or the assimilation of victory.
