Conference MENTAL HEALTH - Identity

Topic: IDENTITY

How does sport shape the personal identity of athletes and those around them? The programme will focus on mental resilience, performance pressure, finding a balance between career and personal life, and the question of who we are when sport is no longer the only thing that defines us. It will also explore how our identity is shaped by the media and society’s expectations, as well as questions of gender, sexuality and social belonging that continue to resonate today.

The conference will bring together the experiences and perspectives of experts, athletes and filmmakers, offering an inspiring look at mental health in the world of sport. It will once again be moderated by former alpine skier and mental coach Šárka Strachová.

The conference is intended for upper-primary and secondary school students. Admission is free for everyone.
