In a world that needs to be rethought, what can we do with the concept of performance?
What can we come up with to avoid being constantly under pressure of “higher, further, stronger”, a friendly motto linked to progress, but ultimately in line with infinite growth whose limits and collateral effects on the economy have become clearly visible?
What happens after the “records”?
In the future, will sport be nourished more by values than by numbers?
We sometimes appeal to sociology, and let’s be crazy, to philosophy, but we manage to keep our feet on the ground and suggest some rational hypotheses. We think it’s necessary to:
- Highlight the experiential aspect of sport (existential, emotional).
- To say that sport doesn’t necessarily need “performance” to be experienced, because it goes way beyond a result that is displayed as a ranking.
- To promote sport as a vehicle for personal equilibrium.
