Abstract

It is known that performance sports provide the framework for different social demands that require physical and emotional adaptation, which strengthens the future adult’s psyche. Self-image is very important, because it influences our behaviour; thus, a good self-image feeds us with enthusiasm, energy and the necessary determination to solve everyday tasks, with the ability to take some risks in life. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a possible connexion between the former or current status of the performance athlete and a better self-image compared to those who have not practiced sport at all. Starting from the above-mentioned ideas about self-image, in this paper it was used the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, which aims at self-image, self-esteem and self-confidence. Performance sport also has an echo on the adolescent life, impacting thus positively the self-image of physical Ego and mental Ego, as revealed by the statistical processing.
