ABSTRACT
Life in the twenty-fi rst century is becoming increasingly busier and trying to maintain a balance between different and competing life areas can be problematic, even for the most organized person. The life areas that impact upon an individual’s time are, for example, family, friends, fi nancial pressures, relationships, education, socializing, work and rest. For the athlete it becomes more complicated as they have to fi t in training, competition and travelling into an often already busy lifestyle.
