What is the secret of sports? Why do we like to be spectators? Why its attractiveness and its universal acceptance?
Sports represent certain ideals that we often see far away from the daily life we lead: friendship, solidarity, self-confidence and companionship, commitment, overcoming, faith in our own abilities, singular and shared effort.
And also making mistakes, risking and keeping trying, The champions continue playing until they get it right, proclaimed Billie Jean King, one of the greatest tennis players in history.
In that place and time something begins and ends: aesthetics is expressed, ethics is discovered and the epic is dramatized. In sports, everything seems to be possible.
