Rugby values

But do you know what happens?That while our country votes to our representative in Eurovision, in the world Putin is liando, Vox leaders go for a walk believing the Peaky Blinders, when they are only the white mark of hunting clothes for a town armor or Pablo Casado does not leaveTo make a fool of it, it doesn't matter when they read this, I am immersed in an adventure that I feel like telling them.

Last year I had my first experience with the world of rugby.A great friend gave me the opportunity to work with her in an international rugby 7 tournament and to infect my passion for this sport.A year later, in Spain some world series are being held thanks to the courage and passion of a girl from Puertollano and a New Zealander.And thanks to them here I am for a month, immersed in the adventure of working in these world series that for the first time World Rugby with Kiwi House celebrate in Spain.

I understand rugby?No, but the human team that surrounds this sport and the values it represents will leave me a mark, I know.They already did it last year, but this one, living this experience of fifteen days of coexistence and teamwork, I consecrate my respect for this sport and the team with which I have shared this adventure.

12 female and 15 male teams from different places in the world such as Australia, Argentina, South Africa or Spain have passed these days through our country to play the World Rugby Seven.Malaga and Seville have been the headquarters of the tournament, fourteen intense days that began at the Olympic Stadium City of Malaga, a place that became our house for a week.

Wake up in front of the sea, beers and laughs with the medical team, the production team with which I have been lucky enough to learn...The people of Hotel Meliá Costa del Sol who have spoiled me so much so as not to run out of dinner when we returned to the hotel after twelve hours working, or the City Council technicians helping me to solve a permit to make a sculpture on the beach of La Malagueta, orTwo guys from the Malaga rugby club who gave me a hand to fulfill a secret mission.I will never forget my first time in Malaga and how well they have treated me;I have promised to return, this time to sit in silence, take a spot and drink a very cold victory.

But the adventure was still in the middle, it was arriving in Seville and taking possession of the Olympic Stadium of La Cartuja.With accumulated tiredness, but eager to receive the public in the stands and listen to the fans to encourage the lions and lions, and their palms to the rhythm of bulerías.It has been an incredible week, in which I have had the privilege of stepping on the Royal Maestranza de Caballerías de Sevilla and her Albero, the one that the Australian players wanted to visit to exchange the shirts with which they would play the tournament by the coach's hand and theCaptain as a symbol of honor and respect.An intimate act that before each tournament the teams perform in an emblematic place in the city they visit.

Values: Integrity, Honor and Clean Game.Solidarity, friendship, loyalty and teamwork.Passion, feeling of belonging to a global family.Respect for colleagues and rivals.Discipline, outside and inside the field.

2022 has not been able to start better and more intense.I take friends, a team of professionals with whom I would go to the end of the world, the desire to return to Malaga, a night walk in Seville and a lot of learning.Now it's time to rest the lived ... just around the corner, wanda, rugby sticks and see the Spanish team of the XV against New Zealand and hear the Maori song, of haka.

Rugby is the new black.
