These are beliefs about the body – appearance, attractiveness, health, physical fitness, manual dexterity, mental characteristics-intelligence, personality, social relations with family, friends, employees, lecturers. Self-image is a relatively constant set of features, which means that it is possible to make changes in it. A change in the image of oneself, and thus in the behavior and functioning of a person, can be made by entering into a relationship with another person. In addition, it reflects the rightness of promoting physical culture among children and adolescents, and the role in the understanding of the Catholic Church. Sport plays an important role in both large and small communities and it significantly influences the full physical and spiritual development of a person, starting from an early age.
