“I Train When Others Are Still Asleep”

Mark never stood out. He wasn’t the captain. He wasn’t the one giving interviews after matches. But there was something different about him. Every morning, at six o’clock, he got up. Alone. Biked to the pitch.

There was no schedule. No coach. Just him, the ball, an empty field, and dew on the grass.

He repeated the basics. Drills he already knew. Every single day. Like a ritual. Like a prayer.

When others asked him why he did it, he simply said:

“Because I want to be ready when my moment comes. And if it never does—I’ll at least know I was ready.”

During one match, the team was losing. The main player got injured. The coach turned to the bench. And without hesitation, said: “Mark, you’re in.”

He didn’t shine. But he played with composure. As if he had done it a hundred times. Because he had—just no one was watching.

After the game, the coach said:

“You’re proof that greatness is not born under the spotlight. It’s born in what you do when you’re alone.”

MESSAGE

Many crave success. Few are willing to walk the path alone. To train without motivation. To persist without praise. But it’s those silent workers who become the backbone. Not because of talent—but because of their loyalty to themselves.
And that is the greatest strength an athlete can carry.

Janja Garnbret je še enkrat dokazala, zakaj spada med najboljše na svetu. Njena pot do zlate medalje ni bila le fizični izziv, temveč predvsem mentalni. Skozi leta trdega dela je razvila izjemno sposobnost osredotočenosti in samozaupanja, ki sta ključna elementa njenega uspeha. Vrhunski nastop na olimpijskih igrah je bil rezultat njene izjemne mentalne priprave, kjer vsaka misel in vsak gib vodita k popolnemu dosežku.

S to zmago je ne le znova osvojila vrh, temveč tudi še dodatno utrdila status Slovenije kot športne velesile. Njeni dosežki navdihujejo nove generacije športnikov in ponosno predstavljajo Slovenijo na svetovnem zemljevidu.

💖 AMAZING 💖

V športu so trenutki, ko emocije prevladajo, a ravno v teh trenutkih je fair play najbolj pomemben. Med finalom odbojke na mivki na olimpijskih igrah (BRA 🆚 CAN) je napetost med igralkami naraščala. Zaradi pretiranega verbalnega konflikta sta dve igralki prejeli rumeni karton.

Takrat pa je DJ z glasbo na stadionu ponudil subtilen opomnik o tem, kar je resnično pomembno – skladba, ki jo poznamo vsi (J. Lennon ~ Imagine), je zaigrala in z njo prinesla sporočilo miru in povezanosti. Ta trenutek nas je spomnil, da je prava zmaga vedno v duhu fair play-a. 🔝

Po (ne)prespani noči…

Včerajšnja tekma na evropskem prvenstvu je bila dokaz, da se trdo delo, predanost in srčnost vedno obrestujejo. Naša reprezentanca je z neomajno borbenostjo in pogumom zdržala proti močni Portugalski vse do konca podaljškov. 0:0 po 120 minutah je neverjeten uspeh, ki nas je napolnil s ponosom in upanjem.

A prišli smo do točke, kjer se preizkuša tudi največje mojstre – streli z 11 metrov. Na tem odru so naša srca bila hitreje, saj smo vedeli, da bo vsak strel odločilen. Neizkušena reprezentanca je stopila na tisto znamenito točko z vso odgovornostjo na svojih ramenih. Kljub temu, da so se soočili z neizmernim pritiskom, so se borili z vsem, kar imajo.

Čeprav sreča tokrat ni bila na naši strani, je bil to trenutek, ki ga ne bomo nikoli pozabili.

Hvala, fantje, za neizmerno borbenost in za trenutke, ko smo verjeli v čudeže. Ponosni smo na vas in na vse, kar ste dosegli. Slovenija gre naprej!

Sport is more than just physical activity; it's a way of life that brings countless benefits to children and adolescents. The importance of participating in sports goes far beyond competitions and achievements. Sport builds character, promotes perseverance, strengthens teamwork, and improves stress management skills.

When children and adolescents engage in sports, they learn valuable lessons about responsibility, respect, and fair play. Through victories and defeats, they understand the value of hard work and patience. Every moment on the field, every training session, and every game contribute to their personal growth and self-esteem.

Parents and educators, encourage your children to lead an active lifestyle. Let them find their favorite sport, which will motivate them and help them develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Sport is the key to a healthy body, a strong mind, and a happy soul.

I read with interest the widespread opinions on parents' behavior at matches and the approach to raising children in sports. I agree that discipline, work, and effort are crucial for achieving success, but I would also like to shed light on the other side of the coin, which I often see as a sports psychotherapist.

Sports are more than just winning and results. They are also a means for personal growth, developing social skills, overcoming personal boundaries, and learning important life lessons such as perseverance, respect, teamwork, and stress management. If we focus too much on results and winning, we might miss the opportunity to raise a well-rounded individual.

It's important to teach children responsibility and hard work, but that doesn't mean we should neglect their emotional and psychological development. Children who are under constant pressure to achieve results can develop a fear of failure, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and lack of motivation. It's crucial that they also learn to enjoy the process, as this is key for long-term persistence and success.

It's equally important to provide children with a space where they can experience and express their emotions. By encouraging them to get back up and try again after a failure, we teach them resilience. By listening to them and allowing them to express themselves, we teach them how to deal with their emotions and grow as individuals.

We must maintain a balance between work and enjoyment, between effort and reward. As a sports psychotherapist, I believe that with this approach, we can raise a generation that is not only successful but also emotionally intelligent and psychologically healthy.

Parents in the stands play a crucial role in creating a positive atmosphere. Unfortunately, many parents do not know how to behave appropriately in the stands, which negatively affects children and their experience of sports. Rough and inappropriate behavior from parents not only increases pressure on the children but also undermines the sportsmanship and values we wish to instill. Parents must understand that their behavior at matches is not only a model for their children but also affects the entire environment in which these children develop.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that parents take responsibility for their behavior, show respect to all participants, and support their children in a positive and constructive manner. Only in this way can we create an environment where children can develop into healthy, successful, and satisfied individuals.

⚽ The Key to Peak Performance ⚽

When we think of a top-notch football player, we often see strength, speed, skill, and precision. However, behind every successful athlete, there is another, less visible component – psychological preparation.

Mental readiness is the foundation on which a football player builds his physical and technical abilities. Psychological preparation enables the athlete to remain focused and calm even in the toughest moments of the game. It helps him overcome stress, manage pressure, and maintain a positive attitude regardless of the outcome or circumstances.

Key elements of psychological preparation:

1. Mental endurance: Allows the football player to quickly recover from mistakes and focus on the next opportunity.

2. Visualization: Imagining success and repeating key situations in the mind helps the athlete better prepare for actual situations on the field.

3. Goal setting: Defining clear, achievable goals helps the football player stay motivated and focused on long-term achievements.

4. Stress management: Relaxation and stress management techniques are crucial for maintaining calm under pressure.

5. Confidence: Building and maintaining a high level of confidence is essential for success on the field.

Therefore, psychological preparation is just as important as physical fitness and technical skills. It enables the football player to maximize his abilities and achieve top results.

Let this thought accompany you the next time you step onto the field: “With a strong mind, you can overcome any obstacle.”
