Eugenia Caldaro

A psychologist registered with the Order of Psychologists of Sardinia (No. 3655) and currently specializing in Health Psychology.

I graduated in Psychological Sciences and Techniques from the University of Padua with a thesis entitled: “Serious Games: When the Game Gets Serious. Active Learning Through Playful and Virtual Experiences.” I then earned a Master’s Degree in Developmental and Socio-Working Psychology from the University of Cagliari with an experimental thesis: “Team Dreaming: Group Climate, Emotional Competence, and Dream Content in a Sample of Male and Female Athletes.” I subsequently furthered this topic with a Master’s Degree in Sports Psychology.

I completed my professional internship for the State Exam at the Marino Hospital in Cagliari, primarily in the Spinal Unit. It was thanks to this experience that I developed an interest in Health Psychology.

I explored the areas of relaxation and breathing, earning the title of Expert in Mindfulness and Emotional Management from the European Institute of Positive Psychology.

I currently work as a Sports Psychologist for the Evolution Programme at the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and am a Level I Mental Coach for the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation.
