Slobodno vrijeme i sportske aktivnosti bitne su pojave današnjice jer usmjeravaju ljudske težnje i djelovanje. Uz fizičke aspekte sporta, pažnja se posvećuje i psihološkim aspektima. Razmatraju se pojmovi poput mentalne snage, psihološke spremnosti, pozitivnih mentalnih slika i emocija u sportu i koliki je njihov utjecaj na vrhunske rezultate sportaša. Cilj ovoga rada je pobliže opisati navedene pojmove na primjeru australskog nogometa u Hrvatskoj, specifično kluba Sesvete Double Blues. Također će se pobliže opisati osnovni elementi australskog nogometa, manje poznatog sporta u ovim prostorima. Unatoč svim poteškoćama koje, ovaj malo zastupljeni sport stavlja pred njih, oni i dalje ostvaruju zavidne rezultate. U radu će se istražiti što ih motivira i što je zaslužno za njihov uspjeh. Leisure time and sports are important phenomena of today because they direct human aspirations and actions. In addition to the physical aspects of sports, attention is also paid to psychological aspects. Concepts such as mental strength, psychological readiness, positive mental images and emotions in sports and how much of their impact is on athletes top results are discussed. The aim of this paper is to describe these concepts in more detail on the example of Australian football in Croatia, specifically the club Sesvete Double Blues. It will also describe in more detail the basic elements of Australian football, a lesser known sport in the area. Despite all the difficulties that this underrepresented sport puts in front of them, they still achive enviable results. The paper will explore what motivates them and what is responsible for their success.

Današnjim vremenom vlada naivnost i lakovjerno razmišljanje. Pseudoznanost ili ''lažna znanost'' popularizira tvrdnje koje su nedokazane iako raspolažemo metodama oscjenjivanja istinitosti ili neistinitosti. Rad će prikazati da individualizam igra veliku ulogu, obzirom da se pojedinac vodi svojim interesom i gubi se povezanost između ljudi; gubi se međusobno povjerenje i povjerenje prema institucijama. Ljudi traže smisao i pravilnosti i pseudoznanost im to pruža. Religija, mitovi, magija i pseudoznanst daju jednostavne i utješne odgovore na pitanja smisla i morala. Pristup je individualan i čovjek ima osjećaj da je bliži pseudoznanosti nego znanosti. Nadalje, tehnologija i internet dio su svakodnevnice stoga će se rad dotaknuti i utjecaja interneta na pronalazak ''dokaza'' i nastanak popularnih teorija zavjera. Kroz primjere alternativne medicine, astrologije, kreacionizma i teorija zavjere, pokušat će se objasniti zašto je tolika rasprostranjenost pseudoznanosti; da li je pad popularnosti znanosti utjecao na rast popularnosti pseudoznanosti ili je situacija obrnuta. We can say that today's time is full of naive and gullible thinking. Pseudoscience or ''false science'' popularizes claims that are unproven even thought we have methods of obscuring truthfulness or inaccuracy. This work will show that individualism plays a great part, given that an individual leads to his own interest and the connection between people is lost; mutual trust and trust in institutions is lost. People seek meaning and signs , and pseudoscience provides them. Religion, myth, magic and pseudoscience give simple and comforting answers to questions of meaning and morals. Approach is individual and a person has a feeling of connection to pseudoscience more than science. Furthermore, technology and internet are a part of everyday life, so this work will also touch on if internet is affecting findings of ''evidence'' and developing of popular conspiracy theories. Through the examples of alternative medicine, astrology, creationism and conspiracy theories, we will try to explain why is pseudoscience so widespread; did the overturn in popularity of science affect the popularity of pseudoscience or vice versa.
