Nacional, a prominent Uruguayan sports club, has terminated the services of its psychologist, Damián Benchoam, after a 19-year tenure. Benchoam, who also supports the Uruguayan national basketball team since 2022, will be replaced by a team of coaches from Argentina. Club representative, Britos, stated the decision was planned since the beginning of the year, suggesting a pre-determined shift in the club’s psychological support strategy. The move signals a change in approach to player well-being and performance enhancement for Nacional. Details regarding the specific reasons behind the change beyond the planned nature remain scarce. This transition could also impact the national basketball team as Benchoam juggled roles with both organizations. The incoming Argentinian coaching team’s focus and methodology are currently unknown.
