This case study explores the benefits of Marjory Gordon’s health functional patterns in a high performance young athlete lifestyle. Starting from a holistic perspective and through a nursing functional health care plan in practice, I would like to set the basis for nursing care to high performance athletes. The results showed that there are some protective factors connected with healthy life patterns as: balanced diet, physical activity and drug use prevention. Moreover, there are some risky behaviour related with the effort and the high dedication in daily life.
