Iti Sports

The context that we live daily both in terms of relationships and in terms of rules, behavioral methods, cultural characteristics does not always allow us to express our full potential. We often experience conditions that  they inhibit the full expression of our latent faculties. They are the external limits, characterized  from the mentality of the people with whom we relate, from the modalities of the culture to which we belong, from the rules, habits and many other factors that objectively condition us. Having a space in which external limits are exceeded to allow the maximum expression of ourselves is necessary and sport fulfills this function.

What is sport? How was it born? What is the current direction of meaning?

The word "sport" derives from the term pleasure, or leisure, entertainment ...

In ancient times it was born as a celebration of the movements of the cosmos, an example is the throwing of the disc whose parable represents the sun that rises and sets and the javelin that symbolically recalls its rays.

In addition, sport also recalls Agón, hence agonism, or the loyal confrontation with the other, in which one wants to win in a mediated or immediate way.

And today? What has it become? 

Despite the distance from the ancient meaning of these disciplines, sport still preserves a virtuous direction: the opportunity to allow the maximum expression of human potential: power, strength, flexibility, speed, agility, sacrifice, endurance, adaptability, creativity, challenge of limits ... There are many virtues required of those who want to excel in a sport. It represents a place where the rules guarantee a great challenge.

In addition to external limits, the human being is also hindered by his own internal limits made up of inhibitions, fears, insecurities, disempowering visions, internalized relationships that hinder the full realization of oneself. Knowing one's limits, recognizing them, exploring them, facing them and learning to overcome them is the main road for the full development of one's person in its entirety.

How many dimensions do these limits affect? How do they manifest in the human being? What effects do they have on the quality of one's life and one's sports performance? 

The dimensions that characterize man are many and consequently an integral job must take charge of knowing them, harmonizing them and directing them adequately.

Only by overcoming external and internal limits is it possible to fully realize oneself, as persons and as athletes; and this is the challenge that the “ITI Sports - Integral Transpersonal Sport” division welcomes, with the intent  to create a healthy and effective way of practicing sport.

Sport, among its multiple purposes, deals with achieving peak performance: it is necessary to take into account that performance is always psychophysical and is necessarily conditioned by the quality of relationships, the quality of communication processes and the degree of competence that one possesses in adequately plan the objectives to be achieved. Furthermore, the quality of the performance is conditioned by the culture of the sports organization in which it operates, in fact it can favor or hinder the achievement of a desired condition of well-being and effectiveness. 
 
I take full care of the person, starting from the most serious psychophysical health conditions, up to accompanying them in reaching a full realization of themselves, putting them in the conditions to best express their potential.
