Mladi športniki in njihove aktivnosti

Abstract

Young athletes often encounter difficulties in finding a balance between sports and other activities in their lives. They devote most of their time to training, which means that they run out of time for other activities, often even putting sports obligations before education. The Law on Sports in Slovenia enables young athletes to acquire the status of an athlete, which means that it is easier to strike a balance between sport and education. Despite this, they often run out of time to socialize with peers and family obligations. The paper presents the results of a survey conducted among young athletes in Slovenia, the aim of which was to determine whether young athletes in Slovenia, who are not yet categorized as athletes, have a balance between sports and other activities.
