#legacies #italiannationalteam #lessonsfromtheplayground Last week, Italy failed to make it to a third World Cup in a row! Growing up as a footballing fan in the eighties and nineties, Italy was a constant and dominant fixture at the world stage. Winners in an epic tournament in Spain in 82, Italy’s combination of a cast iron defence and counter attacking flair, were the dread of many a nation. Sure, the gelled hairstyles and shiny Azzuri jerseys also did add a bit of panache and flavour. As also the operatic celebrations-check out Tardelli’s from the 82 final, truly one of the all-time great ones. However, post their last triumph in 2006, Italian football has been in a steady state of decline. Not making it to a World Cup with an expanded set of nations, and that too, three times consecutively, is surely too much for a nation with such a proud footballing legacy to swallow. 4 World Cups. 2 European Cups. Boasting of hugely successful clubs. And yet, all that seems in the past. The Azzuri surely have a case of the blues at present-all puns intended. Just shows us all that only heritage, however glorious, cannot guarantee further success. What you did in the past is in the past. The new day or new week starts afresh, as does any new international tournament or challenging journey in your life. One has to wait for the referee’s whistle to blow signalling the start of things. And then strive to prove oneself, all over again. No matter what game you play.

When you win, it's not because of the quantity of people of your team, rather it has a lot to do with the quality. Winners are strategic nurturers of quality team members. Having just one right person on your side can make all the difference. #lessonsfromtheplayground

"We would never take away math or reading or social studies," says superintendent Michael Hynes. "So why would we take away recess, where they learn just as much?" https://t.co/2Wu8RLEfoy
