Today I am going to talk about hooligans, and especially in football, which damage the reputation of certain clubs around the world.

First of all, who are the hooligans?
They are fans of a sport using violence during a match.
So can we say that they are supporters? Personally I think not because at the base a true supporter comes to a match to support his favorite team, all this in the respect of the opposing supporters while the hooligans will use misplaced words until they come to blows and therefore to violence. This can have several consequences, the first on the hooligan who will be arrested by the authorities, then on the person attacked by the hooligan who can be hurt morally because of inappropriate comments or even physically by beatings during a fight. Finally, this can also have consequences on the club, whose “hooligan supporters” who have harmed opposing supporters can lead to sanctions on the team when it is not there for nothing. In fact, take the example of the Heysel drama during the European Cup final in Belgium on May 29, 1985 which pitted the Liverpool club against the Juventus club where separation grids and a low wall collapsed under the weight of the supporters, which left 39 dead and 400 injured and those because of the hooligans who were continually fighting. This led to the ban from participating in the European Cup for 10 years, reduced to 6 years for Liverpool and 5 years for all other English clubs. Not to mention all the other consequences that there were after the Heysel trial.
In conclusion, we can say that hooligans are people to avoid around the field and that they give a bad image to the clubs they support.

I used to follow Leicester City around the country when I was a boy/young man and in the 80's England had a big problem with hooliganism. Maybe one day we can sit down and talk about how hooliganism isn't quite so black and white as history makes it seem.

For this week the discussion will focus on the influence of sport on work.
First of all, does sport have benefits or not on work? And secondly, which ones?
Indeed sport is very beneficial for work and in particular on our productivity we will now see the positive points influenced by sport.The first is an improvement in productivity, it allows a better understanding of things to do and greater capacities. In the event of demotivation, sport restores dynamism.

Then, there is also a better team cohesion since physical activity provides a positive attitude.

Third, it affects physical health. Indeed it reduces arterial hypertension, increases the "good cholesterol", improves blood circulation and many other benefits on the body.

In addition, it reduces stress due to the quality of sleep, relaxation thanks to forgetting the problems during the sport session, etc.

Finally, we can actually say that sport has real benefits on work, whether physically or morally.

Do you think that companies should be forced to include sport in an employees work time?

Hello sir, I hope you are doing well despite the bad weather. The subject I will discuss today will focus on the influence of sport on studies.
In the short term, physical activity helps reduce stress and improves memory. By increasing the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain, thus physical activity puts athletes in a better condition for learning. In the long term, the effects are numerous. Beyond the effects on memory, regular physical activity also promotes the recovery of information in memory. So his ability to change physically based on experiences would also be part of the benefits of this practice. All of these findings help explain higher academic results and better learning ability in young athletes. In addition, self-confidence will also be positively influenced.
Finally we can say that sport included in the timetable is a very good thing.


To answer last week's question, there are indeed companies which force sport to work which is a very good initiative, other companies do not oblige it but propose it while many others, and unfortunately they are the majority, do not offer anything at all.

Today we are going to talk about the fact that in some places athletes do not become professional because of a lack of development in their country.
Indeed, studies show that a "vicious circle" is appearing due to the lack of development of sport in the countries of the South. Indeed, the decrease in investments in sport also decreases the chances of seeing athletes increase their talent.
This also means that the prospects for athletes to continue their training or sports career in a developing country are greatly reduced. The lack of opportunities for athletes to train in developing countries leads to a low return on investment for local talent, and tends to further weaken local structures and professional sport careers.
Less developed countries have difficulty valuing the talent of their best athletes and / or tend to lose them to nations with more influence in global sport. The regulation of sport by international processes can thus contribute to the gaps in the development of young talents from a developing country.

Yeah, opportunity is a greatly overlooked commodity in all areas of life.

We are going to talk about a booming "sport". E-sport, a discipline between video game specialists. It is said that competitive e-sports could be considered a sport activity. Players who play this so-called sport prepare and train with an intensity comparable to that of athletes in other more traditional sports. Professional clubs like Paris-Saint-Germain have launched their e-sport structure. Last year, UC Irvine, near Los Angeles, became the first public university in the United States to have a dedicated arena for the discipline.
Finally, we can note that e-sport has integrated well into the world of sport and that its expansion is very important.
But a sport like any other? This is a subject that deserves debate!

So do you think of it as a sport?

Hello sir, I hope you are well under the circumstances. Today the theme will focus on the influence of sport on mood. In fact, exercise produces chemical reactions in your body that influence several brain functions, including mood. The first cause of this feeling of well-being is the release of endorphins during sport. These hormones, which have effects similar to those of morphine, are produced by the body during physical exercice, leading with them to a feeling of euphoria. But endorphins are not the only substances that play a role in our good mood during sport. Indeed, physical activity also activates the production of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, which also affect mood. It is therefore the release of all these combined substances and their synthesis that give us a feeling of well-being during a sporting activity. According to studies, it only takes 20 minutes to activate the production of neurotransmitters and therefore to provide a high level of well-being.

To answer your question on the last topic, for me e-sport is not a sport if we strictly use the definition of "sport"
