Abstract:
Competitive sports demand numerous sacrifices from young adolescent athletes to reach early performance. This comes at a high price: many injuries, sometimes serious, recurrent fatigue, or undue pressure, bordering on abuse definitions. We present a new concept, which seems quite obvious: health for performance. In the presence of complete biopsychosocial health, adolescent athletes can thrive and meet their athletic, social and academic goals. A conducive sports environment, one which integrates interdisciplinarity with healthcare stakeholders, can allow for a complete harmonious positive development, one which is aligned with Public Health goals. Healthy adolescents may become performing athletes, but they will most definitely contribute positively to their wellbeing, as well as society in general.
