| Abstract | Prije same razrade ovog završnog rada, kao autor smatram da se moram ograditi te
navesti da cilj rada nije omalovažiti one dobre segmente sporta koje u današnjici svi jako dobro
poznajemo, već ukazati na onu drugu, manje ugodnu, ali isto tako stvarnu sliku sporta od koje
nažalost današnje društvo okreće glavu, počevši od profesionalaca (u tom polju) pa sve do
„običnog“ čovjeka. Moj primarni cilj je navesti čitatelja na razmišljanje je li uistinu sport zdrav
u onolikoj mjeri u kojoj ga se prezentira? Pod pojmom „zdrav“ ne podrazumijevam samo
zdravlje organizma, već i samo psihičko stanje sportaša (bilo profesionalnog, bilo rekreativnog)
koje se manifestira na njegovom ponašanju i odnosima s obitelji, prijateljima, okolinom... Kada
razmislimo o pojmu „psihičko stanje sportaša“ ono što nam prvo padne na pamet zasigurno je
trema, strah, nervoza sportaša prije neke važne utakmice. Međutim, to je samo jedan mali
segment pojma „psihičko stanje“ u kojem, mogli bismo tako reći organizam normalno reagira.
Da bismo razumjeli stvarnu dimenziju pojma „psihičko stanje sportaša“, prisjetimo se slučaja
samoubojstva Roberta Enkea, vratara njemačke reprezentacije koji se ubio bacivši se pod jureći
vlak. Kada bismo istražili njegov život, vidjeli bismo da je to san svakog drugog (možda i
svakog) dječaka – biti poznat, uspješan sportaš. Kako onda odjednom da je takva zvijezda sebi
oduzela život? Je li upravo sport i sve ono što dolazi sa sportom bio razlog njegove kobne
odluke? Nažalost ovo je samo jedan tragični primjer u mnoštvu sportaša koji su završili kao i
Enkea. Da bismo uopće razumjeli drugu (negativnu) stranu sporta, moramo otkriti aspekte koji
dovode do narušenog psihičkog, ali i fizičkog stanja sportaša te stvaraju negativnu sliku o
sportu. Upravo je to sadržaj ovog završnog rada, bazirati se na ono što je „vidljivo“ (ozljede,
sindromi pretreniranosti, sindromi prenaprezanja), ali i ono što „nije vidljivo“ (psihičko stanje,
seksualno zdravlje, doping). |
| Abstract (english) | Before the actual elaboration of this final paper, as the author, I feel that I have to
distance myself and state that the aim of the paper is not to disparage those good segments of
sport that we all know very well today, but to point to the other, less pleasant, but equally real
image of sport that unfortunately today's society turns its head from, starting from professionals
(in that field) all the way to the “ordinary” man. My primary goal is to make the reader think
whether sport really is healthy to the extent that it is represented? By the term “healthy” I mean
not only the health of the organism, but also the mental state of the athlete (whether professional
or recreational) which manifests itself in his behaviour and relationships with family, friends,
the environment... When we think a little bit about the term “mental state of an athlete” the first
thing that comes to our mind is certainly the jitters, fear, nervousness of athletes before an
important match. However, this is only one small segment of the term “mental state” in which,
we could say, the organism reacts normally. To understand the real dimension of the term
“athlete's mental state”, let's recall the suicide case of Robert Enke, the goalkeeper of the
German national team who committed suicide by throwing himself under a speeding train. If
you researched his life, you would see that this is the dream of every other (perhaps every) boy
- a famous, successful athlete. How did suddenly then such a star took his own life? Was sport
and everything that comes with sport the reason for his fatal decision? Unfortunately, this is
just one tragic example in the multitude of athletes who finished like Enke. In order to
understand the other (negative) side of sports at all, we must discover the aspects that lead to a
damaged mental and physical state of athletes and create a negative image of sports. This is
exactly the content of this final paper, to be based on what is “visible” (injuries, overtraining
syndromes, overexertion syndromes), but also what is “not visible” (mental state, sexual health,
doping). |
