Due to the deficit of the expected young people’s moral attitudes caused, inter alia, by a crisis of values (considered on the one hand in the context of changes related to the age of adolescence, and on the other hand, to social changes), it is worth to support preventive activities. It can be done thanks to the use of the sports fair play principle as – in the indications of many researchers – a universal principle. It is through its proper observance that we can teach making moral choices – as emphasized by Zofia Żukowska. The humanistic values of sport in the spirit of fair play allow for the development of socially acceptable attitudes. They can be the source of the hierarchy of values of a young person, which will guide them in everyday life situations. The aim of the article is to present the educational potential of sport with the principle of fair play as the basis of Olympism promoted by Pierre de Coubertin, the creator of the modern Olympic Games. This can stimulate the educational reflection of teachers and educators in the context of the possibility of conducting preventive activities in schools, especially today, in the crisis of values that affects young people.

The article presents the figure and views of the creator of the modern Olympic idea – Pierre de Coubertin on the phenomenon of mental overload of students and the role of sport in human development. This development was based on kalokagathia – an ancient ideal of comprehensive education. In his book Pedagogie sportive (Sport Pedagogy), the French thinker shows how physical activity and sport can influence moral, social and mental development. The reflections and postulates of the reformer of education from a century ago turn out to be up-to-date with contemporary challenges of physical education of children and youth. These include limiting the natural need for physical activity in younger students, sedentary lifestyles, hypokinesia, remote education, students’ reluctance to participate in physical education classes, lack of adequate sports infrastructure for physical activity at school, and deficiencies in health education.
