L’altro sapore della sconfitta | Josefa Idem | TEDxTorinoSalon


[Music]
so without much laps of words I would say
that we aim straight at the goal because
today together with you I would like to debunk one
myth a myth that there is in the spot in all
sport the olympic one as well as in
that of the parishes in what they are
use that neighborhood tournaments are played
and I would like to dispel the myth with you
concerning the binomial defeat e
victory victory defeat for which the
victory gives reason and the defeat from
wrong because when you lose you have
committed mistakes were made
true
and when one wins, one is not wrong
fair comma
here I am this myth I would like to debunk
together with you
and I would like to do it starting from the story of
some episodes that concern mine
history
now maybe so many of you are so
young people who do not even remember the
my last big companies maybe
they know about the Italian part but I would like to
together with you return to the past to those
times when I argued the first and the
second Olympics then come with me
in 1984 we are in los angeles and I for
I took part in that Olympics
a series of important sacrifices I had
stopped with the school I was doing
I work part time to be able to follow all of them
the indications of my natore that he had
a very very accurate programming
a very important roadmap
and then imagine we get to one
basin of los angeles and my poor
coach comes to know that not
we can train in the afternoon because
he always pulled wind from the desert instead
we girls 0 worry because
we believed in the work but we did
of necessity virtue and have been enjoyed
the Olympic climate is thus the day of the
final with my cardin eye
we are moving towards the start and we are
as a whole even if not in the past
few times we had a fight because I
I never picked up his things was good
really an impossible thing, however, that
we are a symphony one day
let’s train and we’ll leave
let’s stretch fight here I would say
that we have done so but not really
I remember that race I do not remember anything
that race
I only remember that then at a certain point
we crossed the line we
you arrive for if someone could say
give a flaw of money on stuff
children
but for us it was really something
important because until that day there
not only did they ever set foot on
an Olympic podium but must never set foot
on a podium of a world championship and I did not have
never set foot on a podium of a race
international because then they won
always the network the east vine know that not
a few times I happened to come back on Monday
morning after an international context
that I caught myself while I was whistling
the Russian anthem works of Germany
of the east and because there was no escape
they always won them or in
that issue via banking los angeles
rados angeles lacked the firs in the
communist countries because they had
boycotted in response is said for
he repeats the boycott of Moscow where
the west had given up for
stigmatize the Russian invasion into
afghanistan and less having her if not there
they are and we have not prevented it
so we were happy with ethics and the
result or then after a few days it is me
something happened a little bit strange
because he says oh well we beat them
Romanian the only ones of the present but the
stronger opponents
therefore they lacked that true happiness
for the goal achieved, yes it is
added an aftertaste a bit
bittersweet because
the strongest network was missing in that
moment no promise I would have it
put all to win a medal of
true diane for linkedin over four years
after and so I did for the following ones
four years
there were only two things training and
professional training following that
that was the indication of mine
coach who believed in the home and
in the full-field commitment he does not see
I was running from morning to night
yes lesson hours in the morning four hours
of training in the afternoon and I was running
up and down between the federal center at school
of police
I do not tell you how many times I am
asleep even as I returned
it was cooked like a cc as it is used
say from new in Romagna is however me
it seemed a fair price a piece
conger turned towards victory
and indeed the accounts returned from the complaint
and my coach would have me already
could if I race one by night and without it
remove the pajamas I would have done that 1
57 that you get that wins the medal
pity that then in the race in the race yes
always always stopped on 202 was always
like a curse after a while said but
as I despaired I was downset but says
as well as I’m putting it all times
return
I want with all my strength to get to
this result I trusted with mine
with god diary I wrote chorus coruna more
chorus more but far I knew from what
I would be already halfway and it is true tilt and
there was something that escaped me but I was
too entangled to understand what
it was then something that is escaping me
so at a certain point he arrived at
olympics could not fit
become good and I lost and you remember
September debunk that myth we wanted to
whose victory brings reason and the
defeat was wrong and then, however, me
I had good does so well all my
beloved king said diane using we are
went well, he gave us reason
the dose is higher, but then what it is
success in those four years we do not
we know
fact is that I lost cardillo and this
defeat gave me wrong but gave me
really wrong because as he said
the performance was there but it did not come out
in the race
perhaps
he was a person of attitude well up
this I must say that they got away
with a few because time to cut the
The final goal is the sentence was
ready the leader has no mental strength
now too old to win
you realize I was 24 years old 24 years I was
too old to win
he laughs a bit but the poles are now a
robot lata as a guilty weak
of mind as well had it all set and after
long to laugh 1 changed life are
Due in Italy and I started to
prepared me yes but my husband and together
we started working year after year
on my gift the talent of fas horns
boat and year after year has grown the
our pecors colom and in curriculum there
they are all those medals that
were there have been mentioned before and
I must say that that curriculum would be
been even richer this is true if
there was that medal siul
that was within my reach
but today at a distance
I am convinced that there was much more has
reason to which I bring in those defeats
because if I had won I would have to give
reason to my actor who was preaching
wisdom krifi cio the end fatigue a
herself and maybe she also lost for not
give my reason to my dear ones I kept mine
indefinable malaise a reasonable price
to pay you understood that I was
forgotten to live and without being
conscious I thought this a piece not
I buy too high a price to pay to
wrong call in the 90 first world for
Italy
I win back home we stop at
potsdam in germany east and let’s slip between
the triumph is our marriage that
we should have celebrated here that later
we stop in this escape tank of the
germany east bobba top secret up
a year before then my husband does not have
resisted made me do those heads
three days from the world, so much to prevent
who has deflected German into our home
because we stop with the bio mechanic
after the tests
and I look at the data and look at it in disbelief
and I say what is stuff is mine
technique
yes but it sucks but if I just won i
world and him her at 20 world three
days ago and now he knows where he can
improve and the environment also understood that
I would have rather celebrated the victory
and I would have rather prepared that
marriage, however, with hindsight I have to
to say that the idea of ​​mine was brilliant
husband stop there and face me
to my faults three days later i
world
and he is truly a person who knows not
one but two more gears and I to them in
course over the years and luckily at the end
the somatic arrived pietro but those
true it was really ge such that
so I had won in spite of mine
technique when one wins, one is right
they are not mistaken a comma no but me
I had won despite the technique
shoddy then we go to sydney 2000
he arrived at the camp at 8 in the morning and they are
very scared when I see fly away
tents boat from how strong the
wind but we are at the last day of the
tv in the evening would have pushed the flame
olympic that the race was to be done in
that day while
we chase after another postponement in me
hunger and technicians decide to
return to the hotel to pick us up from
eating you can not believe it with what
are back they are back with i
tortellini a tortellini and what he did
I ate and then they said that between
the announcement and the actual competition would be
spent an hour
the last famous words finished by
eat away at the start and I have to say that
I won that world in spite of that
I had been possessed throughout the
path from the thought that went to that
wrong meal I had done before
of the tender
then the real funny thing comes because
after London, a friend of ours after the race
I never had tortellini before
I say the final but you’re crazy but
you think
he does not because he looks and what you say
always having won despite the
tortellini away together but then not later
you ‘ve never eaten them again after the final
but you have not even won so anymore
maybe it’s not like you won in spite of it
those there but maybe you won thanks to
tortellini
I would say that it does not make a fold
I would say that this reasoning does not make one
fold
and then to get to the conclusion
I would like to share 3 items that in
extreme synthesis summarize a little what
we said until now the first item from
when they make me listen to the stories of the
samples and tell you that you have to do
like them
let the doubt come that maybe they
they have won thanks to everything they have
done well but also despite all this
who have combined up to that point 2
when they tell me that defeat is
an excellent opportunity that to sgami i
its errors are also contemplated
possibility that the 3 was wrong
programming and over having wrong
the wise habit of commitment perhaps there
you are simply finding in the fim
mistaken
and then that is still very fashionable
military paradigm of obedience o
the religious one for which if only on the
earthly life we ​​make many sacrifices
we will go straight to heaven but
when we are wrong that story of the
cult and sacrifice does not work and then
we get straight to 3 from square
height will is power and what there
inculcano since we are children though
it’s not always like that because then there are gods
true limits and for which it is not enough it can not
suffice
an optimism understood to see
made their dreams come true
and then to get to via limits
My imagine the race to which
10 thousand people participate and it is not that
for that number then placed on the podium
increase and then common mothers that the
we put with those 9 thousand 997 that not
they go on the podium are from with gods evenings
failed because they did not have enough
willpower are donkeys then
see that the timid limits are not
only
our head there are real limits
then it can happen that one participates e
when it loses it is not that it becomes
automatically an idiot and if the
so we put the defeat acquires
all another flavor
then he is going to participate and there
he is winning or losing nobody for his
dignity that you see that victory is
the exception and not the rule
now I see that someone may think of it
look what he tells us not easy for
the ads have won everything and then talk to us about the
value of defeat
then day a moment with me at that
period there in Los Angeles
seul deserving of the premise if one
wants to achieve a result can not
regardless of commitment from practice
guaranteed by the constant desire of
make it though it is done is that there is no way and
way to get there because then after all
these stories here to someone told me
but after the even won thanks to the fact
who has learned to resist all
those bad weather
it took me a few years to remember
no, no, I was like that as a child
I was a stubborn child who was curious
creative and resistant look at three
I broke my forehead because a
all the costs I had to get off of it
he gives it the tricycle in the cellar, then my aunt
it served me closed in the cellar
because he could not take any more than all of them
questions that I could see that the
I was putting on the world and I was taught by
alone to swim because he was doing it
go crazy my dad who did not take to
patience so I requirements d friend
and yet now smith later because now mine
they live almost stolen that gift that
I was taking the starting line
and in the trends and if then this
story happened to me it twenties this
history of the obedience of sacrifice
who has something to do with children
today and who sees as they align
young children know that today this
history of sacrifice and sweat
snaps already for young children do not
can do without this, however, because then
as an adult you live well and serenely
race with a moment to express itself in the
beauty of their skills
it is necessary to start well and start well
means to allow children
express full flow of them
possibility and this is why today I
I work very hard to spread new
paradigm within youth sport
so let me finish with an appeal to
all those who work with children
so that there is joy for children
joy and creativity and play and so that
for them there may be one in the future
nice story to tell
around the sport thank you
