In Poland, there is much talk about the mental shift that Iga Swiatek has undergone in recent months, losing her composure on the court several times and displaying a vulnerability that was not previously evident in her. More and more people point to her peculiar relationship with her sports psychologist, Daria Abramowicz, as the cause of this instability. In the Polish publication sport.interia, one of the most respected psychologists in the country, Dariusz Nowicki, warns that the problem may be serious.
"A psychology professional cannot afford to develop very close relationships with their client because it distorts their work. Mistakes happen when there are many emotions involved, that's why it's necessary to maintain a distance. In the case of Iga and Daria, the boundaries of a relationship between therapist and athlete have been crossed," he commented.
