Every athlete should be on fire when it comes to their discipline.  But when does this fire burn down? Burnout is not only a problem for managers, but in every area in which full action is required and given over a long period of time.

Not only since the tragic death of the German goalkeeper Robert Enke the task has been to discuss subjects like burnout, depression and pressure to perform. Many time athletes have found themselves in difficult situations. Just think about Jan Simak, Sebastian Deisler, the tennis player Jennifer Capriati or Sven Hannawald.

There is a fine line between depression and burnout, the demarkation of which is not always easy. All the more, an exchange between people involved and experts is necessary. We hope that such an intense exchange will direct the appropriate attention to the subject and will help to break an old taboo.

Platform for discussions on burnout in sports on XING

DZIP has created a discussions group on the social network XING: burnout in sports.

This group offers a forum for athletes, physicians, psychologists, trainers, sport managers, clubs, sport journalists and everybody who engages in the subject of performance and burnout in sports.

The 7th world cogress of the World Society of Anti Aging Medicine WOSAAM was all dedicated to a best possible prevention of illnesses. Under the patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco more than 4.000 physicians got together from the 19th to the 21st of May 2009 from around the world More than 250 international scientists and physicians specialising in Anti-Aging-Medicine, aesthetic surgery and dermatology reported on safe therapeutic measures helping towards a better wellbeing, younger appearance or higher performance.

In the frameworks of the event the World MediSpa Association was officially inaugurated. More and more often Medical SPA treatments, a combination of medicine and Wellness/SPA are being offered worldwide. Unfortunately many of these offers are lacking much reputable content. The term as such is not proprietary and therefore does not guarantee any quality of the treatments on offer. As well, to date there are no standards within the medical education which would be tailored towards Medical SPAs. However, particularly in this area a specialized experise in integrative medicine is required. Such an approach, with a specifically tailored education will be taken by the new society. A qualification for hotels is also planned.

The founder of the World MediSPA Association, Dr. med. Mario Krause, acts as scientific advisor for the WOSAAM and has engaged in the integration of medicine in the hotel and tourism sectors. His statement: „It is time for the description „medical“ to refer to medical treatments. The combination of medical experise and soft treatments within a service-oriented and pleasant environment will achieve results which would not be possible within a classic clinical context.“

Dr. Krause offers support for executives through their careers. In Dusseldorf, at the Congress of Success held by the AWD, he met one of the most successful politicians of present times, William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton, the 42nd American president who influenced world politics to a significant degree. Today the former president is actively engaged in fighting HIV and promoting social justice.

How do I influence people? How do I exceed limits? What is the secret of success?

Despite all the differences, all the day’s speakers agreed on one aspect: success has to do not only with talent and knowledge. Rather, the decisive factors are determination and the willpower to live one’s dream.

Bill Clinton’s defintion of success:

Success means something entirely different to every individual. Therefore it should always be defined on a personal level. The specter of success is not confined to financial or professional peak performances, however. Rather, less quantifiable factors, such as happiness with your friends and family form part of the equation as well. Mr Clinton sees having sustained true friendships as one of his biggest successes.

The most decisive is: you need a dream.

In order to reach a goal you need a dream and you need to believe that you can fullfill this dream!
Mr Clinton reckons: It is better to fail than to not have tried at all. The most unhappy often are not the ones who have failed fulfilling a dream but the ones who have not tried fulfilling it at all. And every attempt is a step closer. As an example he mentioned his wife, Hillary Clinton. She had lost the candidacy for President of the United States of America but she had experienced so much support that she now has new opportunities for her career.

To realize a vision it is indispensable to have a clearly structured roadmap of realization. Apart from discipline, the ability to deal with mistakes and flops are part of what one needs on such a way.

Dr. med Mario Krause: The secret of successful people

Successful people do not only hold a strong belief in their own powers. They also have a dream, a vision and fully commit themselves to realizing these dreams. But they are not lone fighters. They have the ability to inspire other people to commit too. They have created a strong network of relations for themselves that they skillfully know to employ. Their personality is characterized by a radiant amicability, they win people with a smile. Successful people usually dispose of an unusual degree of “power”.
In order to help people stay on their ways towards their aims, we work on mobilizing every individual´s “power” in the best possible way. Body and mind need to be in balance. Starting in a cellular level, we have developed a concept that boosts mental as well as physical performance. In this cause, an inner balance and good health have always been our guiding principles.

Doping is silly and dangerous!
With our Performance Coaching you make your best performance available.

Within athletics there is often a comparison between athletes that are on a par regarding techniques and training.
Our inner, mental approach decides over success in sports. In critical situations of two equal opponents the mentally stronger one will win. Training mental strength should therefore form part of the training process.

In addition to our mental strength our biosystem can also be trained on a cellular level, improving all the important metabolisms even on a microscopic level.

Many athletes know the condition when mental and physical power is at hand at the same moment. Some describe it as “flow”.

„Actually I am an entirely different person, I just never get the chance to be myself“
Ödön von Horváth (1901-1938)

42% of all managers suffer from exhaustion, 48% from nervousness, 59% from insomnia and 63% are chronically tired (figures taken from the Gelsenkirchen Institute for work and technics, 2005).

Günther K., 45 years old: A few days ago he was presented with his new boss. Actually he had thought he would get the position himself. His colleges he cannot talk to, he doesn´t know if he can trust them. And most importantly he must not lose face. He has been working for this company for 12 years now, another 12 years ahead of him…? Sometimes, when he has a moment to himself he wonders whose life he is living…there used to be something else.

The DZIP offers an individualized program of diagnosis, therapy and coaching-modules, customized and adjusted specifically to the needs and demands of executives.

In combination with a classic mental approach medical treatments are employed to mobilize additional metabolic forces. The emphasis here is on an integrated approach, which takes into consideration aspects like nutrition, exercise, mental strength and energetic balance.
