Why is Argentina's sports collective project so strong?
In terms of football, Argentina is a world power, but because FIFA does not force clubs to release people to participate in the Pan American Games and the Olympic Games, they are not first-team players. Even so, Argentina won the men's singles championship, and the women's singles lost to Colombia in the penalty shootout.
First of all, they show a strong sense of collective belonging.
Teams in Argentina have their own nicknames. Football players are called brothers, rugby players are called cougars, hockey players are called cougars, and handball players are called gladiators. All these can reflect their love.
There is also a mechanism factor. Different from individual events, Argentina's team events are also mechanical, with sports federations at all levels, and athletes can participate in various club competitions. Sports federations invest funds to train young athletes, provincial excellent athletes and national athletes, and organize a large number of competitions every year.
All people in Argentina love sports. Although football is still the first sport in Argentina, many young people in Argentina like rugby, handball, basketball, volleyball and hockey. Moreover, these projects are also in the national education system, with specialized physical education teachers.
These factors, together with Argentina's perfect sports facilities, give Argentine athletes enough training opportunities.
This is why collective projects in Argentina are so strong.
