Recognizing the importance of mental health, Zé also discussed the support system in place for athletes, which includes professional psychologists trained in high-pressure environments. He emphasized the value of mental preparation in moments of crisis and decision-making, aiming to equip players with tools they need to perform under pressure while building individual and group confidence.

In a more personal moment, Zé shared an anecdote about a plant he took with him during his recent Olympic experience in Paris. This plant became a symbol of good fortune for him and helped him stay grounded throughout the chaotic environment of the games.
