Resilience, Sports Strategies Research Group

Through our research and multidisciplinary approach, we are seeking answers to what makes, or can make, the following stakeholders resilient in team sports and their youth development systems:
(1) Athletes, coaches, and their collaboration.
(2) Clubs, their management, and the professional community, particularly in the context of the player-parent-supporter relationship.
(3) The operation of the team sport's institutional system and the consciously organized collaborative efforts of its members.

Becoming flexible, resilient, and adaptable to significant influences is an exciting challenge, and at the same time, it is a constructive, empowering process. Our research not only assesses the current situation but also identifies existing values, resources, and capabilities, while offering insights, solutions, and opportunities.

Our main research areas:
• training theory and methodology
• the role of professionals and teachers in sports training
• methodological and pedagogical issues of team sports
• sports medicine issues (prevention of sports injuries, eating disorders)
• sports economy, sports business
• sports management
• sports psychology, mental issues
• dietetics
