Healthy boundaries for success

Where can the external pressure to perform and the internal desire for success lead us? Are ambition, drive, and performance pressure always beneficial? Can a single inappropriate comment damage a person's health?
These are just some of the questions the authors of this book seek to answer. They sensitively uncover the fine line between when the desire for a healthy lifestyle leads to health and happiness, and when, on the contrary, it leads to suffering and illnesses such as the taboo subject of eating disorders. You will read the story of a dancer who went through one of these on her path to success. This real-life example reveals how treacherous a poorly conceived sporting environment can be, or how much influence parents, teachers, and especially coaches have on the healthy development and psyche of an individual.

The authors reflect on the most common causes of these disorders, explain the context, and offer advice on how to avoid mistakes when motivating a young person. This book will be appreciated not only by coaches and those who work with children and young people, but also by any parent who cares about their child's health.
