PSYchology

If Chepyshny were awakened even at night and asked what he wants more than anything else, he would say without hesitation: “Overtake Vikulainen!”

From the book «In Our Favor» — my favorite book about athletes

I respect everyone who plays sports, because I know how strongly the body and personality are connected. Personality is built primarily through the pattern of the body, through the structure and character of the body, through the habits that are built into our body, that is, they are built into us.

Dear parents, be careful: choosing this or that sport for your children, you choose their character and destiny. Skiing for long distances, like a sport, forms the psychology of a loner who knows how to move through tension, on one will, to the goal, which he always looks at a little frowningly. Swimming develops the will less, but gives more attention to the technique of movements and gives the ability to enjoy life. Tennis is a feeling of a couple, the ability to build tactics, not be afraid to lose and be able to deliver accurate strong blows. Football, as a sport, is the feeling of a team, the ability to catch the excitement and kick backhand, throwing all your aggression into the punch!

From afar, on the street, I can distinguish an athlete from a lover to lie on the couch: athletes have a different gait, their legs fly out accurately and resiliently, there is peppy energy in the body, a strong turn of the shoulders and a head on a strong neck. And almost always — attentive eyes. Athletes know what a goal is, they know how to keep a goal and achieve a goal. They have a will, and not just desires, they know how to work without unfortunate oohs and eyes, discipline, like timekeeping, is in their blood, and they know what the joy of victory is.

It is no coincidence that many successful businessmen came out of the athletes. An athlete knows how long his body will serve him, he knows how to squeeze everything out of him — absolutely everything! — resources, and when the body can only be written off, professionals say goodbye to sports and move on to another business.

My respect to you, real athletes!

As for girls, a lively and cheerful girl with a slender and athletic figure has more chances for an excellent family and success in life, so sports are a must. It is advisable to choose sports that are associated with being outdoors and with physical activity — running, cycling, rollerblading, figure skating and skiing in winter. However, the girl also needs her own, special sport, since the girl needs not strength, but three other things, namely: a) flexibility, b) general coordination of movements (dexterous hands) and c) grace, beauty and smoothness of movements. Therefore, from power loads — we swing the press and do squats, but we replace the horizontal bar with push-ups.

Squats make for a beautiful butt and (if squats are done correctly) build the ability to get up even when life is crushing you. Push-ups give the ability to resist, the swing of the press develops strong-willed qualities and turns more into a Strength Officer. The good thing is that all this does not contradict grace and femininity. You just have to know how to do it!

Swimming is very good for health, but with professional training, girls form quite masculine shoulders, which is not quite feminine. For the same reason, rhythmic gymnastics is more useful than sports gymnastics. Tennis is useful both big and small, both yoga and fitness are good, while team sports are more for guys, for girls individual and pair dances are more useful. Once again: the most important and absolutely obligatory sport for any girl is dancing. Dance, dance, dance! You can start with folk dances, continue with any modern ones, but sooner or later, the experience of pair dances is required, at least hustle (the simplest and most affordable) and salsa (a little richer). In pair dances, the fear of the partner’s body disappears, in dancing you can stand close and take the hand, which is not easy for teenagers. If hustle is a minimum program, then ballroom dancing and sports dancing is already the world of princesses.

When choosing a specific sports section or dance studio, it is usually more important to pay attention not to a specific sport and not a type of dance, but what kind of people are there and what is the style of communication there, first of all, what is the culture of the coach. A high-quality, worthy coach teaches not so much a specific sport or dance, he teaches attitudes towards people and life. If you have found such a coach, you can be calm. However, for a girl of different ages, you need to select different coaches ..

Body drawing and personality development

In the drawing of the human body, the possibility of his development as a person is recorded. The drawing of the body determines our interests and our values, it imprints our character in us, it records what our vocation is and whether we can have it at all. The body, clogged with clamps and twisted by depression, interferes with development. If we want to develop our or someone else’s personality, we need to start with the development of the body..

How the pattern of our body affects our mental life and our personality

A person begins with a drawing of the body. That is: from the muzzle or face, from the carcass or camp, from paws or strong and beautiful brushes. And also from physical energy or pale infirmity. The way our body is built, what its pattern is and what state it is in is a serious factor that affects both situational mental states and the prospects for personal development. See →
