Biancardi Felice

I have always loved spending my time doing sport. It has become an important part of my

everyday life. When I started my bachelor studies I suddenly realised I needed an

activity that could help me to get fit and relax my mind. I found the answer in Running.

How does it help me

My passion: Running

Running teaches me that I am capable of

way more than I ever imagined.

I practice this sport not only for healthy purposes, but also because Running

enhances the quality of my life.

Take care of my body

Set Rules: Create a nutrition plan, manage my time and define priorities

Self Confidence: Extend my ambitions, recover from failures and make sure of my means

Personal Development

“Per aspera sic itur ad astra“ Cit. Seneca

Handle emotions: From defeat and discouragement to success and satisfaction

Enjoy different places: I practice running also during holidays.

It is a good way to keep fit and enjoy places otherwise inaccessible

Personal Development “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Cit. Confucius

Learn to set objectives: Image, focus and catch it;

Define a scale of short, medium and long term;

Focus on improvement, not only on results;

Choose stimulating ways to achieve it

Concentration: Researches shows that it helps to relax your mind after or before a work session;

The increasing flow of oxygen and blood makes you more alert and focused for many hours

Professional Development

Challenge myself Constant exercise teaches you that you can do more and more with a bit of perseverance

To be resilient, in order to learn how to perform optimally under adverse conditions

Professional Development

I can say Running has become an important activity in my daily life. It gave me the possibility to measure my myself in

stimulating situation such as marathons. Moreover, it has helped me to understand the importance of sacrifice and perseverance.

Now I am able to say that it has led me to achieve strong satisfaction both physically and mentally. Overall, I strongly believe that running does not only build characters, running

reveals it.
