To win it needs to lose

Published on April 23, 2013 in Allenatori, Calcio, Corsa, Giovani and Stress. 0 Comments Tags: accettare, atleta, campione, errori, Michael Jordan, Russell Coutts.

“I make mistakes, that’s why I always win,” said Russell Coutts yesterday, 4 times champion of America’s Cup with three different teams. The same phrase it has already been said by Michael Jordan: “In my life I have failed often and I continued to go wrong. Which is why I’ve been successful.”

Easy to say when you’re a star world … but if it is true? If it was just how you react to errors the difference to be a good athlete or a champion? In this case, the secret consists to accept the mistakes, do not experience them as personal failures but as a necessary opportunity to find the right way to perform.

Do you think at a coach of a young athlete who tells him/her: “You must be happy to make mistakes, because only in this way you can understand the right track.” How many coaches do you know who speak like Coutts and Jordan?

Run without fear in London

Published on April 18, 2013 in Corsa, Generale and Stress. 0 Comments Tags: Boston, Londra, maratona, solidarietà, vittime, Wilson Kipsang.

The champion Wilson Kipsang said athletes should not be nervous running in this Sunday’s London Marathon, just six days after bombs along the course of the Boston Marathon killed three people.

The Kenyan, who is among the favourites to beat a field of 36,000 around the capital on Sunday in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators, said: “When you are running and you are thinking something like that can happen, you can’t concentrate. We should have no fear during the race because security matters will be put in place and we will run feeling free.”

While none of the elite field who competed in Boston are due to take part in London, two-thirds of the elite wheelchair field will race in both events.

Marathon organisers announced that runners would observe a 30-second silence before each of the three starts. Participants will be encouraged a wear a black ribbon given to them when they pick up their race number.

Bombs was for the recreational runners and families

Published on April 17, 2013 in Corsa and Generale. 0 Comments Tags: amatori, amici, bomba, Boston, famiglia, festeggiare, maratona.

The bombs seemed designed more for the masses than the monumental. The explosions went off well after the small crowd of elite runners had crossed the finish line. (Last year’s average time was 4:18:27.) The thick stream of recreational runners — regular folk who would never have a shot at the Olympics — was flowing in then, and mothers and brothers and lovers and kids were waiting at the end to cheer them on. Just to run in the Boston Marathon, for them, was the moment of a lifetime.

Bombs at the Boston marathon

Published on April 16, 2013 in Corsa and Generale. 0 Comments Tags: atleti, Boston, maratona, Newtown, sogni, strage.

The marathon is a sport event that brings people together, spectators and athletes, in the desire to spend a day of joy. For many running the marathon is the realization of a dream, it’s the expression of their vitality, a journey full of personal meanings. This day for Boston is also the celebration of the Patriot’s Day, the beginning of the independence war of the American colonies by the British Empire. Moreover this year the last kilometers of the race had been dedicated to children and teachers involved in the massacre of Newtown, the city where a man, few months ago, made a killing in the elementary school. Whoever did this wanted to break this dream and make us feel helpless.
