E-seminar: THE POWER OF SPORTS ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT - 15/02/2024 at 18:00

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

On Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., you are invited to the online lecture THE POWER OF SPORTS ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

Science in sports increasingly emphasizes the importance of physical fitness of young people, but at the same time focuses on the increasing importance of psychological fitness. The emotions and feelings of active young people are becoming crucial, as their recognition enables effective regulation of emotions before, during and after training and competition. Young athletes experience more stressful situations, but these provide valuable experiences if they are properly addressed, evaluated, and heard. In search of success and inner satisfaction, more and more athletes resort to visualization, mindfulness techniques and breathing exercises, which have a significant effect on calming and preparing the brain for future situations.

Nowadays, burnout and (over)fatigue occur more and more often even among athletes. Therefore, psychological support for young people is even more crucial and necessary. The success of young athletes depends on supportive parents, quality coaches and a strong and supportive community.

That is why we invite you to the online lecture entitled THE POWER OF SPORTS ON CHILDREN'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT and in this way help ourselves, young people and the community to better mental health.

INVITATION: Ghosts, professionals, coaches, sports fans and children, young people who are happy, interested and inspired by sports are invited.

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

She graduated from the Sigmund Freud University Vienna - Ljubljana branch. He is the head of the NEVA Institute, the Institute for the Development of Children and Adolescents, which has its outpatient clinic in the private therapeutic center Obelisk in Ljubljana. She is the professional leader of the socio-therapeutic Independence and Connection Camp in close cooperation with the Sigmund Freud University. She is also the professional manager of the educational program for professional workers of the VIZ, which is supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports.

She is a fan of researching relationships between children and adolescents and an advocate of corrective emotional experience for the development of new ways of thinking, feeling, behaving and relating. Caring for the mental health of children and adolescents is her priority for the development of modern times. It also develops and encourages the mentality of young athletes, as it believes that psychological preparation is one of the foundations for a healthy way of developing young people and society.

She is a big fan of cycling and a sportswoman herself. She is also a mother to a son, Vanja, and a girl, Neža. She and her husband encourage sports in the family dynamic, as they wholeheartedly believe that active children can also be happier children.
