Ethics in sports

Today conference to international boxing referees and judges during a Refresher Course organized by the International Boxing Federation. The topic is little talked about but of great interest and concerned ethics in sport.

It is an area that is too little talked about and often only limited to doping. On the contrary, however, each of us is continually immersed in ethical choices in our daily lives. No one can disregard evaluating whether what he or she is doing is right or wrong, is ethical or not. To which morality our actions respond we are for God, Fatherland and Nation or for Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, we are for spreading the culture of work or for amoral familism.

Arbitration is a complex activity that requires individuals with effective and efficient psychological development that enables them to make decisions as objectively as possible, accepting that they can also make mistakes.

How difficult is it to become a top junior athlete?

How difficult is it to become a junior athlete at the international level?

In opposition sports where you fight directly against another opponent it is very difficult, because beyond the sporting skills and the physical skills, the mental element is what determines success.

By this I do not mean that there is a mental prevalence over the other two components, but that without mental guidance and with a reduced degree of agonism it will not be possible for the athlete to express his sporting and motor skills.

In opposition sports speed and precision are two inseparable aspects of performance. It is clear that those who train to combine these two characteristics together run a greater risk of making mistakes, but another option is not possible. If you slow down too much you become predictable and the lack of precision means that you’ll throw shots randomly.

Training on these two aspects, also involves working mentally to maintain a high level of confidence even if at first you will make more mistakes. Maintaining a high level of confidence, however, will allow you to persevere with this type of training and, recover quickly from mistakes and compete with greater conviction.

Muhammad Ali compie 70 anni e piace ricordarlo con alcune sue frasi:
“Coe cosa è la boxe? Facile tanti uomini bianchi che urlano mentre guardano due uomini neri che si battono tra loro”
“E perchè dovrei andare a combatter i vietcong, non mi hanno fatto niente. Loro non mi hanno mai chiamato negro”
“Amo la boxe, mi ha dato molto, ma a volte mi ha anche fatto pensare a quanto gli esseri umani possono essere spietati l’uno contro l’altro”
“La mia strategia era cercare di comportarmi  il più scientificamente possibile nei miei combattimenti”
“Non volevo farmi male davvero e non volevo che nessun altro se ne facesse”
“Volevo danzare, tenermi lontano dai colpi dell’avversario e volevo usare il cervello tanto quanto i pugni”
“Cercavo di entrare nella testa del mio avversario e smontarlo psicologicamente. E’ stato cosi, in fondo, che vinsi contro Sonny  Liston e riconquistai il titolo combattendo con Gorge Foreman”
