Constantinidou: “Eurobasket is not only women, it is a matter of all”

OR Annie Constantinidougreat form of women’s basketball in Greece and head of school and university sports on the EEC Board of Directors, hosted on his “Woman to Woman” show Eok webradio with Marianna Aneniouloureferring both to the “Vaso Beskakis” tournament and of course to the forthcoming Eurobasket and at Women’s National.

In detail what he said:

For the organization of Eurobasket and the whole effort that started in 2021: “And the hardships, to make it effortless. I believe for any vision of steady steps. We have done a job for basketball and women in this case, especially in the last 4 years. This seems. I receive the messages in discussions. We can above steps. Everything wants his time. There is recognition. I have heard it individually and in discussions. It is a beautiful feeling to recognize the world. Especially now that we have the preparation for Eurobasket. We also hear it from international athletes. That something is moving, something is right. “

For herself, the old and the current season: “The times have changed. At that time there were no participation in Eurobasket, except in the Balkans and Mediterranean. I didn’t live what the younger generation lives. The projection was minimal. Now there is a possible projection, it is the dynamics of social media. I wish I could live from within what the Nationals girls are experiencing now. But working back, let’s say in the background, the whole process gives me joy to get something positive. Now there is immediacy in anything. One can at any time see all the news. It’s all different with the then. Other times. One has to take advantage of whatever tool each season provides but in the right way. “

For children and internet over -exposure: “There are definitely risks. We have to remind youth what is happening to youth. It is a good and useful tool for the Internet but the wrong use is a risk. In technology there is less supervision of what is happening and this is not good many times. As for my work in education, I also say it to children at school, to be very careful and especially when you have no direct contact with someone you don’t know. “

For the young athletes he had at school and the connection to the National: “In women there is less but in young people there are many I had at school. Education and sports. This is the motto, the double target. We believe anyone who wants can both combine and make them at a high level. The girls have proven it. An example is the boshan or a hatred that combine, marry study and basketball abroad. It makes me happy. Have taken the girls right. Whether they follow the academic part or the athletic track more faithfully, they have the bases. Many girls will have a bright future if not all in basketball. “

For the “Vaso Beskaki” tournament and the day of memory: “We lost her early. I lived her a little bit in Sporting when I was finished. He also offered to the EEC. We honor her memory, we want the tournament to be established. We invite national teams and is a preparation tournament, no matter what it happened with the British mission and forced the program. It’s like an institution for women’s basketball. I believe that the tournament will stay, continue for years and the old ones remember Vasso and young people to learn about Vasso and who they were for Greek basketball. “

For Women’s National and Eurobasket: “Emotion. Pleasure. The fact that such a big event takes place here after 20-22 years that became a corresponding tournament. In a stadium, like the chef that has a long history. And girls will feel this great moment. A piece tells me to be there too to play, but of course it doesn’t. I will of course be there near the team. It is an overall attempt. I lived in the stone years of women’s basketball. There is now the trigger for more girls to come to basketball. It is worth the women’s basketball rising higher. There are many talent girls. Many are framing the nationals, others are coming slowly. There is a great effort and we want people to embrace the event. Girls are waiting for the world. They are entitled to it. It is not a matter of women, it is a matter for all Eurobasket. We want children, men, women, families to fill the stage. “
