Zdravé hranice úspěchu - O vnitřním strachu, komplexech a jejich dopadech na psychiku – Jelínek Marian (2023)

How far can external pressure for results and internal desire for success lead us? Are ambition, aspiration, and performance pressure always beneficial? Can one inappropriate comment harm a person's health? The authors of this book seek answers to these and many other questions. They sensitively uncover the thin line between when the desire for a healthy lifestyle leads to health and satisfaction, and when it leads to suffering and illnesses, such as taboo eating disorders. You will get acquainted with the story of a dancer who experienced one of these disorders on her journey to success. This real-life example reveals how treacherous an improperly conceived sports environment can be and how significant an influence parents, educators, but especially coaches have on the healthy development and psyche of an individual. The authors reflect on the most common causes of these disorders, explain the connections, and advise how to avoid mistakes when motivating young people. The book will be appreciated not only by coaches and those who work with children and young people but also by every parent who cares about their child's health.
