E-seminar: THE POWER OF SPORT ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT – February 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m.

LECTURER Irena Kuntarič Žibert, BA. pth., spec. PT children and adolescents under SV

On Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., join us online for a lecture on THE POWER OF SPORT ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.

Science in sport increasingly emphasizes the importance of physical fitness in young people, but at the same time focuses on the growing importance of psychological readiness. The emotions and feelings of active young people are becoming crucial, as recognizing them enables effective regulation of emotions before, during, and after training and competition. Young athletes experience more stressful situations, but these provide them with valuable experiences if they are properly addressed, evaluated, and listened to. In the pursuit of success and inner satisfaction, more and more athletes are turning to visualization, mindfulness techniques, and breathing exercises, which have a significant impact on calming and preparing the brain for future situations.

Nowadays, burnout and (excessive) fatigue are becoming increasingly common among athletes. This makes psychological support for young people even more crucial and necessary. The success of young athletes depends on supportive parents, high-quality coaches, and a strong and supportive community.

We therefore cordially invite you to an online lecture entitled THE POWER OF SPORT ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, which will help us, young people, and the community achieve better mental health.

INVITATION: Parents, professionals, coaches, sports enthusiasts, children, and young people who enjoy, are interested in, and are inspired by sports are all welcome to attend.
