organizational forms of sport.
The most widespread form of organization of sport
was the nonprofit associations. This was possible
because of the legislation
this associations had a total independency from the
public authorities in the almost all European
countries.

Must, firstly, dream and then act
Must, firstly, believe and then plan
Achievement is the knowledge that you
have studied and worked hard and done
the best that is in you.
Success is being praised by others, and
that's nice, too, but not as important or
satisfying.
Always aim for achievement and
forget about success.
