Crisis and sport (eng)


The worries of the international crisis can be used in a positive way to fortify and help us became stronger and better people. Without any doubts this is what is happening now in our Maxibasketball movement as we have at this moment over 85 teams from 25 countries registered for the next Maxibasketball World Championship.
Players recognize the organizational and social level of these tournaments as well as the joy that one week of sport, tourism and friendship brings to their lives.
Often, inflation, unemployment, volatile market and terrible financial changes are caused by mere mental illusions without any base other than speculation and avarice. Finding enjoyable situations help us overcome the unpleasant feelings of fear, anguish, and depression.
Prague at sight and the unmistakable enjoyable sensation of sport is the light on the other side of the tunnel. It is the unequivocal sensation that something good can happen despite the multiple disadvantages we are facing in today´s world. It is a tool that can help us think and feel differently. It also reminds us that even though we are the victims of an international crisis, no one can control us.
Instead of worrying, we must act and be occupied. We have to be positive and move forward, always searching for what makes us happier. One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to do what we love and enjoy doing, to work hard and to organize what we like; ignoring those situations that seem to make us feel badly and unhappy.
We are those who feel, suffer, and fear. If we look towards the light, there is no fear, no suffering, and no pain.
For this reason this year, Prague is more than ever the City of Light.
For those of us who choose to go to Prague, we will do it not just because we have the possibility to be there, but because we really want to and because we know that we owe this unbelievable experience to ourselves.
