Some pictures of the 20th Smrikva Bowl 2015 actors... taken during the second day of their Smrikva Bowl... the day when they became AMBASSADORS... pictures with Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors Olive Trees story...

Yesterday a bit after 8:00 PM the Smrikva Bowl players of this year edition became Smrikva Bowl Ambassadors… the ceremony started at 6:00 PM…

I am pleased to repeat the story of the Smrikva Bowl Olive Trees traditionally planted in Smrikve with some pictures taken during the second day :)… being this moment one of the most important parts of the Smrikva Bowl story… and will start with Teodora who was the first to sign the Ambassador picture…

In 2005, for the 10th Smrikva Bowl anniversary, we started a tradition of planting an Olive tree… and Theo’s expression will help me to give you few more details behind the idea ;)…

The Olive tree selected was at the beginning older than the oldest man living on the earth today. The tree that we planted for the 10th Smrikva Bowl was over 150 years old… and Branko’s nomination may help you to remember that ;)…

…Malwina’s nomination picture to anchor that during the ceremony, every Ambassador put a tiny piece of land close to the root of the Olive tree and say his or her name. This way the tree gets their names…

This year for the first time it was the name and a Grand Slam ;)… the children know the story…

During the ceremony of the 20th Smrikva Bowl Olive Tree Generation… the tree received new names… and Emma was among them :)…

… Yakup smile help me to say that… the Olive tree is a symbol of peace… but the age of the tree means intergenerational responsibility…

Jaka will remind that… every person is born without knowing anything about life on this earth and it is the responsibility of every generation to understand and to learn to preserve all that each of us is born with… :)

… while Mare and Viktor on the Ambassador’s door will help me to share that to me… The Lion King cartoon is an artwork and most of the life messages one can find in it are in line with the Smrikva Bowl founding ideas… ;)

… Rania might already know or learn one day… that the life messages you find in Lion King are in line with the message of the Ambassadors’ Olive Tree; they are in line with the values of friendship and love; they are in line with empathy…

and Vanessa smile how… Love, friendship and empathy are all Cosmopolitan values per excellence, as far as people and humanity are concerned…

… O yes Jacquelin… it is true that the relationship between Mufasa, Sarabi and Simba reminds me of both: parents and family love, but also about the intergenerational responsability.

and Aryan nomination will help to say that… Timon, Pumbaa and Simba relationship reminds me about love between friends. Pumbaa also make me think abuout empathy, intuition and loyalty.

… there are other important relationships in the Lion King Malak… and the relationship between Simba and Nola reminds me again about the importance of love… :)

… with Tara’s nomination I would like to remind that Rafiki, the wise old baboo, with his many centuries old tree reminds me about the importance of knowledge and experience of the older…

… my little friend at the door will help to say… that there are many other particular moments that every person on its own, based on his or her own life experience, discover by watching these artworks.

You might be interested to know that most of the characters’s names in this cartoon have a particular meaning in Swahili language…

Simba means “lion”… maybe Given already knows that because her little brother truly love fairy tales ;)…

Nala means “gift”, and love is for me one of the greatest gifts that people can receive and give during their life

Sarabi means “mirage”…

Pumbaa means “dull-witted” or “stunned”…

and Rafiki means “friend” :)… ahora lo sabes Jose ;)

These names with their meanings make me think of the American Indians and the way they used to give the names to their people.

As I wrote at the beginning of today’s article every person is born without knowing anything about life on this earth and it is the responsibility of every generation to understand and to learn, to preserve all that each of us is born with.

When Mufasa was explaining to Simba that is not easy to be the King… he tried to explain that a good King should know that everything around us lives in a delicate equilibrium and with intelligence we should try to understand it and respect it…

Pepe y Iker’s Grand Slam victory of yesterday could help me to recall that is true that every generation face new challenges but there are many examples in the past how the old generations managed and solved particular problems… ;)

…and this is why… knowledge, human curiosity and will to learn are important… for any of our “victories” Mare:)

It was another long Smrikva day… ended with a Grand Slam dream victory and good LEDO ice cream at the end :)…

… everybody wished to make true their dream ;)

… and Given’s brother enjoyed watching her sister giving their best to do it ;)…

… o yes…

… winning with smile :)

and then ice cream award :D

… it was a long day Theo…

… long day for Marc too…

… tomorrow is the new day…

… IGRA game day…

…boys quarterfinals…

… it is the day to choose IGRA partners…

and the FORUM day…

Today the 20th Smrikva Bowl generation will discover the IGRA game… and we will get to know the quarterfinalist of Boys Main Draw and Consolation Draws…

The girls quarterfinals names of the Main Draw are already known :)

"Smrikve theatre stage" for the "seeds of the Legends" is entering final phase of the preparations...20th Smrikva Bowl 2015 edition...

I am please to recall parts of an article written at the beginning of 2010… when I compared for the first time Smrikva Bowl to a theater stage…

… When I think of Smrikva Bowl I try to imagine it as a theatre where every year we work hard to set the stage where the world’s talents can gather… Every year we gather all this different actors, great talents, very special kids, arriving from different cultures, having different dreams,…

We set the stage and later on they are in charge with their will, dreams and hard work… they are the ones who write the most different stories…

Smrikva Bowl is still very young tournament but I would like to think that some of these kids will write… inspiring stories in most different professional fields.

I also know that according to the statistics only few of the kids participating Smrikva Bowl will make it to become top professional tennis players, but I like to think that they will make it in other professional fields they choose in their lives.

I read Andre Agassi’s book and throught the whole book he was repeating to friends and people meeting… that he doesn’t like tennis thus it seems to me that he never had the option to choose, but in end he ended up being the Champion and according to Luke Jensen a person with big heart and very good friend.

I will never know how many kids playing Smrikva Bowl are playing it because their parents would like them to become professional tennis players and how much of them play it because they enjoy the game.

What I do know is that any kind of sport can help kids in their growth and I also know that people that do excel in any field require total dedication and a lot of sacrifice to reach the excellence.

When I think of Andre’s words of not loving what he was doing for most of the time of his life I start thinking of other 90% of people around the World that make for living doing jobs they do not like, but “La vita e’ bella” Roberto Benigni would say and tennis helped Andre to grow up.

There is one part in the book that I liked a lot… it is about inspiration, faith and what does it mean to be a good coach… to have the right word in the right moment… this part is related with Gil… and is about people that do believe in other people and help them to write their life stories and to write their own one…

Here are Gil’s words reported by Andre in his book when he accepted to coach him:

“I’m not one of those people who expresses or articulates feelings very well, but from now on, just know this: It’s on, man. It is on.

You know what I’m saying? We’are in a fight, and you can count on me until the last man is standing. Somewhere up there is a star with your name on it. I might not be able to help you find it, but I’ve got pretty strong shoulders, and you can stand on my shoulders while you’re looking for that star. You hear? For as long as you want. Stand on my shoulders and reach, man. Reach.”

In every life there are people that influence what we do and how we do it.

The Smrikva Bowl festival would like to inspire its players and Ambassadors to believe in their dreams and work hard to reach them.

Sport and music are in general good educators and the vision of sport preferred in Smrikve is the one Nelson Mandela once said:

“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”

Over the last year there were many former Smrikva Bowl players making outstanding results…

Dominic THIEM won his first ATP title… Borna CORIC entered TOP 100 ATP and win “Stars of tomorrow” ATP award… Ana KONJUH entered TOP 100 WTA

Katie SWAN played the finals of this year junior AUSTRALIAN OPEN… while Tereza MIHALIKOVA was the winner of the same…

Borna DEVALD and Yshai OLIEL won the 53rd edition of the ORANGE BOWL… Dalila SAID won PRINCE CUP…

Himari SATO won Eddie Herr International… Charlotte OWENSBY the 17th edition of the “Little Mo”…

Olga DANILOVIC reached the finals at Les Petits As… Marin DRAGANJA won PBZ Zagreb Indoors Open doubles…

There are over thousands of stories written every week by Smrikva seeds in over 60 countries and all the continents… :) and very soon I will have the pleasure to meet over 100 new seeds of the 20th SMRIKVA BOWL 2015 edition from over 40 countries and all the continents…
