What Does the Silver Label Mean for CAM and the Community?
The Silver Label isn’t simply a badge of honor; it’s a rigorous assessment of a club’s overall quality. According to Yannick Maffre, president of the Tarn committee, the label “rewards sporting results and the high quality of the work carried out by qualified and competent teachers, on a sporting and educational level.” For CAM, this means increased visibility, potential access to funding opportunities, and a stronger reputation for attracting both students and instructors. For the community, it signifies a thriving local sports program that provides valuable life skills – discipline, respect, perseverance – alongside athletic training.
Evergreen Judo Tip: Judo isn’t just about throws and grappling. It’s a philosophy centered around ‘Seiryoku Zenyo’ – maximum efficiency, minimum effort. This principle applies not just on the mat, but in all aspects of life. Focus on technique, leverage, and balance, and you’ll find you can achieve more with less strain.
