Plus tri

Neverovatno da Majk već nije među portretima ljudi koje poštujem i volim,jer se družimo već 15 godina. Organizovanje 10. kongresa Evropskog koledža sportskih nauka pomoglo je da upoznam mnogo velikih profesora sportskih nauka: Eriha Milera, Alberta Golhofera, Tomasa Rajlija, Majka Meknamija, Vaslisa Klisurasa. Poslednja trojica su nam mnogo pomogla oko organizacije, pa je logično što se naše druženje nastavilo i kasnije. Prerarna smrt Tomasa Rajlija nas je odvojila u trenutku kada smo počeli sa istraživačkim projektima, ali smo zato preveli Sportsku fiziologiju Prof. Klisurasa, a sa Majkom objavili neke radove i napisali čak i poglavlje o dopingu u Springerovoj enciklopediji. Verovatno zbog oblasti kojom se Majk bavi svaki susret je inspirišući i zahteva svu pažnju da bi razumeli slojevitu priču o problemima etike i filozofije sporta. Jednostavno slušamo ga otvorenih očiju, jer nam govori o svetu u kome živimo otkrivajući nam stvari koje ne vidimo. Zbog su toga i naši susreti filozofski gledano predstavljaju vrednost koja traje i pravo prijateljstvo.

It’s amazing that Mike is not yet among the portraits of people I respect and love, because we’ve been together for 15 years. The organization of the 10th Congress of the European College of Sports Sciences helped me to meet many great professors of sports sciences: Erich Miller, Albert Golhofer, Thomas Rilley, Mike McNamee, Vasilis Klissouras. The last three have helped us a lot with the organization, so, logically, our fellowship continued later. The premature death of Thomas Riley separated us at the time when we began our research projects, but then we translated the Sports Physiology of Prof. Klissouras, and with Mike published some papers and even wrote a chapter on Doping in the Springer Encyclopedia. The area that Mike deals with is inspiring and requires all the attention to understand the layered story of sports ethics and philosophy. We simply listen to him with our eyes open, because he tells us about the world we live in by revealing things to us that we do not see. That is why our encounters are philosophically speaking, a value that lasts, and true friendship.
