Sometimes Friederike got up in the morning and spontaneously decided to run a marathon. Without water, without preparation. And while friends admired her discipline, sport didn't bring her joy. Sport numbed her. Sport was like a drug. Friederike suffered from exercise addiction — a disease that has not even been officially recognized yet. We accompany Friederike on her way out of her addiction.
Everything we know about life can be found in sports: Success and failure, euphoria and despair. Sports Life tells stories from across the globe, where sports drives personal growth and changes lives.
