Pope Francis on Saturday addressed teachers, children and young people hailing from over 30 countries to take part in the sixth International Tennis and Padel Symposium in Rome.
He therefore encouraged those present to continue to give attention to this"educational dimension", and proposed a reflection based on the experience of padel players: that a good game results from the “right balance of offence and defence”.A good tennis or padel player, the Pope noted, “cannot always simply attack or take risks; he or she must also know how to mount a defence”.
Therefore, “a good educator knows how to balance risk and prudence”. Taking a risk is, for instance, allowing children to have a new experience that they have never had before, although it must always be proportionate to their capacities. “Educators should especially train young people to persevere, not to give up, and to try their best to respond to even the most difficult shots, since a quick and agile response can lead to a recovery that will catch the other player off guard, because it comes unexpected.”Concluding, Pope Francis highlighted what he considers the most important aspect of padel, and of any other sport: that it is a game, whose “educational value lies precisely in the way it is played”.
