REFLECTIONS ON THE GRAND PRIX. MAMMA MIA THAT TEAM!! After I complimented my writing on Monday with the organizers of the beautiful Grand Prix and having found the time to clear the table tennis revival that Ligurian is experiencing at this moment, today I am going to examine the performance of our children and the successful work that our leadership is doing allowing coaches and players to work with confidence and achieve good results in a climate of great family that keeps us together outside the gym.
Before you consider the individual, it is to make a finding of fundamental importance:
individual growth goes hand in hand with the growth of the group! We have been able to give to all children, without exception, the proper care techniques, providing them with adequate sampling good training conditions, a stimulating environment and the presence in gym class athletes that make up the objective to reach, visible , measurable and attainable, and then concrete is not abstract and distant.
Here Our group is among all the positive notes, certainly the most important. We were considering with Patrick, the other day that we could participate in the Italian Youth Championships with a team in almost all categories, teams, among other things, all of a more than acceptable.
Thinking about our situation of only two or three years ago, when struggling to hold together the few pieces that were left badly reduced, I feel really proud and happy to be in the middle of a project that is not only mine, but what a lot of people, a lot of dear friends, with whom sudo, lot, work, I get angry, but above all I hear, I rejoice that at least as much as I enjoy trying to grow this exciting sports project. And now the usual
pagellone.
- Biddle : playing her first tournament of the fourth life ...... and it shows. In one year, Alexander went from not being competitive in NC and D2 to play with players of the caliber of Pinto, the jump is so large that it is metabolized slowly. However, the tournament was very useful, as it gave me the opportunity to point out to Ali so much that the game makes it very clear and visible, much of the training. Ale is with Henry and Yuri Perhaps that is improved by more than the entire group by filling in a short time, a gap that divided him from his companions quite pronounced. He has trained very well and had a major technical development, not yet supported by a knowledge of the game that currently remains modest ....... that's why the games on Sunday served a lot in his training as a player . VOTE: pupil, 6 - . (7.1)
- Rattazzi: himself on his first adventure in the fourth. More competitive than I thought (2-3 with Bardella, 0-3 with all sets pulled by Schena) having little experience but also the change form of the game had only two weeks. Positive notes: great heart and great legs, seems to have mentally digested the new materials and new tactical approach. Note negative: so eager that deals with excessive eagerness to put the game ........ the Boboc senior wants too. " Andrea must absolutely learn to see the glass half full, appreciate all the little progress that will come and see that a defender must always be accompanied by serenity and patience to get the best from himself.
VOTE: think positively, 6. (6.8) - MUIA'DADO : first time for him. Frightened and subdued in the morning. Ball in the afternoon, when he plays a beautiful game with Fornaro lost the fifth set and quickly proving to be competitive with all the Fourth of mid-range. Positive notes: great technical growth and more aggressive in the game. Note negative: a bit too pessimistic (Rattazzi syndrome).
VOTE: I think the second positive, 6. (6.4) - THE WHITE : Danilo tell a tournament is a bit like doing a review to scary movies. How many games ended with the advantages, many dramatic fifth set. At the end of the bad defeats in the morning (with Bardella from 9-4 in the fifth) are compensated by the victories of the afternoon (3-0 to Vada). A word of advice for his friend Dani: you should live meetings with a little more peace of mind, even assuming a possible defeat which must be accepted calmly, avoiding drama and budgets: "What game do"; "I could stay at home "'It's better to stop." When I'm ready to lose, they are certainly closer to victory (I know it may seem a counter direction), as playing a more balanced emotionally, I can give the best of myself, or almost fully expressing my potential ......... MEDITATE PEOPLE MEDITATE.
VOTE: nightmare, 61 / 2. (6.4) - BEL Khal: I have a hard go into a technical discussion talking about Reda, because of him I am just saying that I love him like a brother and saw him as a person uncommon generosity and many other wonderful things that a guy with all his qualities deserve.
I try to stop here because I could be silly, I conclude only recalling its importance to society: always available for any championship any time in any place, where there is the group he never fails, a sense of incredible, the gentle giant for all children beginning, who saw him as an important reference point and why not, one of the greatest sparring quality service and straight with few equals in Liguria.
VOTE: our flag, 8. (6) - SANFILIPPO : back just in time from the ski, play a tournament discrete, confirming the level had all season: just behind the big 3-4. Unlucky in ' hitting both races in the best player in the tournament form: Emy Lagorio. expresses the usual fighter skills and good knowledge of the game, not sufficiently supported by training and the consequent need security in order to subdue an opponent of many balls as precisely Lagorio.
VOTE: TAN, 71 / 2. (6.9) - CALO ': he had already given some signs that led me to prematurely pronounce its revival, the revival, which was quickly denied by sudden and unexpected drop. I think this time we can say with some peace of mind: the best is back FOO; Sergione seen Sunday in the Hall is once again to call we like: sparkling in the game, tactically invalid, strictly off the brain and consequently with the free arm to produce the super spells that have always distinguished him.
VOTE: perhaps, perhaps, 8. (5.7) - BOTTARO : another step forward. Faith ant never fails to file the gap from the top and gain more and more famous scalps. Yet another test of strength. Positive notes: good agonist, significantly improved in general play with the law. Note negative: when the game asks a very different tactic than congenial to him is hard to adapt, playing all the closed part of the game very badly, well below to what is in training.
VOTE: Who should plan ......, 71 / 2. (6.5) - CINNAMON : second victory in just over a month in the region. growth also hinges on an athlete from competition , from back in the game that he trains. These wins are very important because the self-esteem that comes from playing well, but mainly from winning is the fuel for training and the best help for dealing with great confidence that the commitments will be competitive.
VOTE: plurititolata, 71 / 2 (6.9) - Muia 'CATE : another very positive note on Sunday. Really grow in for the first time I saw her suffer and struggle. Led brilliantly by coach Limo won two opponents with whom he had lost a little over a month ago. I find it also much better placed in gruppo.Tutte things that grow in value whereas the beautiful Cate is a 98 and is then juniors. VOTE: agonist, 7 +. (8.1)
- PUPPI : I could spend the really big words for a kid who can do the things that Henry does with the bat in his hand and enhance growth, but especially so big so fast, complimenting for results beyond all expectations (this time have fallen between the others and Bertazzoni Sanfilippo) and instead prefer to emphasize what for me is more positive note in the future: a step forward in terms of character, always his weakness. In gym workouts have improved and Enrique begins to hold rates fairly important, but it was the calm with which he managed the game against Volterra, in the third race on Sunday, which really took me by surprise. Against typhoid contrary ( more than justified and absolutely sport), but especially against an opponent that every point he shouted in the face to a very irregular (With any referee would point penalty from the start) Enrique was able to manage their emotions and the game, so much to get the benefits of the September 5 For this I really want to compliment him (something already done immediately after the match) by reminding them that this is the road. I hope I do not like Mirko, the estimate of him as a person and a player remains intact, but in this situation has really gone too far. VOTE: bravo Enry, 9. (7.6)
- BERTAZZONI : the winner of the day deserves closure. I'm really happy to see that years of training, which seemed lost, have served to something ....... I say something, A LOT. David plays a great tennis and maybe this has always done, but now it goes with great maturity, with the pleasure of the game and competition. One senses in him the enjoyment from the challenge that comes from overcoming the difficulties that the enemy in turn suggests ........ David has just reached the essence of competitive, we can say nirvana table tennis players . I see him grow from week to week and not only in game, even in training. And 'he asks me to do more, play two hours of sparring with Bianca but not as a true athlete who has fun and gets ready. Before each game of the season when asked about training preferences, I would always respond the same way "Do you Mister, I is equal to" sign of peace, security and enjoyment of the challenge. Never a word out of place, full of determination and may the best win. I close with two anecdotes.
The first: after the defeat to Henry, embraced him and accompanied him to the bar to drink with one thing, accepting the ruling of the sporting field, although unpleasant, unexpected and certainly made the most bitter opponent's age ( children learn). The second
: Fourth Sunday in the second round of the competition was played Lagorio-Berta. David led 9-5 in the fifth set, he was wrong on 10 of the easiest of the high balls with the opponent lying on the ground and asolutamente out of the game and finally sconftto. Several hours later, at about 20 after 11 hours of topspin, in the quarter-finals of the third race, the replay Lagorio-Berta. First set 10-9 to 12-10 David Emiliano. Second set from 10-8 to 14-12 David Emiliano. Anyone who stopped fighting would probably ...... David until not long ago. And instead self-denial and do not give up until the last point kept him afloat, leading the fifth set to win an endless battle. THESE ARE THE VALUES THAT TEACHES PEOPLE SPORT ........ MEDITATE MEDITATE !!!!!! VOTE: 10 men, 8 to 9 = table tennis (7.6)
I want to remind everyone that the solid foundations of the house we are, with so much love, building, are the wonderful leaders and parents who are doing the impossible, that have embraced this project excited and experiencing it firsthand, every day trying to do more and better. THANK YOU ALL SO NEXT
'BECAUSE' IS A GOOD DAY starts in the morning ............
THE MISTER
