Summary/Abstract: The practice of doing sports during adolescent years abounds in situations which may cause unacceptable behavior, such as rudeness, selβishness, vanity, etc. Observations of coaches’ work reveal that athletes’ planned and systematic spiritual and moral education is often neglected in the training process. However, preventing and combating negative manifestations in sport is possible primarily with the help of spiritual and moral education and one of its most important missions, i.e. building beautiful human relationships. The most helpful tool in education seems to be a proper analysis of parenting situations that form the basis for metaphorical work.
