Rehabilitation After Bullying in Sports and the Long-Term Psychological Impact of Sports-Related Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury on Sport Practitioners

Abstract

Bullying in sport is different as effects account for the impact on the sports-men. The frequency and type of bullying is different in relation to sport practice. Greater physical impact is correlated to sports like football, handball and basket-ball. Trauma can be produced also in volley-ball but because it is a sport in which all teammates are dependent on each other. Sport practitioners have developed a very high sense of dignity and justice. In many situations sport is practiced from a very young age which means that the collaboration between family, school and sports trainer is very close. The coach has the role to realize educational mentoring. Sometimes the mistake of parents is to drive their children to sports inadequate to their temperament, and here we can find the causes of the amplification of aggressivity of some sports practitioners against their colleagues. In many cases the sport practitioner is not al-ways choosing themselves the sport branch which they practice. Very important are the abilities of the sports instructor, which can practice in the school or outside the school time schedule. Sometimes there are sport instructors which are not prepared efficiently for the sport branches in which they are training and are not always correctly evaluating the physical effort of the sportsmen which they are training. In sport branches where sports men are evolving, it is important to put emphasis not only on performing good results, but also it is important to give attention to group cohesion and the maintaining of the interest in sport for a healthy life. It is also important to psychologically evaluate the sport practitioners if needed. Bullying is a wide-spread situation and so it is found also in the sports practice and the sports mentors must take in account the prevention and the fight against these facts.
