Triathlon and the Olympics

I told athletes and patients that I went to school for 33 years to be prepared for the future.  Unfortunately, I am not.  The questions and answers change constantly, but I learned to move with the waves.  The fiction of Aldous Huxley is with us more and more. The Brave New World: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley
“In Brave New World Huxley portrays a society operating on the principles of mass production and Pavlovian conditioning…”
I followed what it is mentioned in the internet that Bill Gates said and I think it got me someplace:
The Grand Narratives are gone and there is no much to hold us.  Please see,

Triathlon and The Loss of The Grand Narratives

   

Cultures are not holding the values needed to perform at a high level.  If those values exist, they are guarded in temples; France has clubs and families; America has universities and professional teams.  Sometimes we call those temples High Performance Institutes or substitutes; but even there, the values/standards are very limited so a good performance is difficult.  Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Russia and many other countries have cultures that are unable to keep a High Performance environment when they were doing a good job not to long ago.  It appears that it is not something that is worth pursuing nowadays.  Instant gratification and "pursue of happiness" is more important than commitment to a cause.


What to do in such circumstances? China has always done it its way.  A Mexican Newspaper shows images of how they develop champions, EL UNIVERSAL. I am not a Chinese.  My question has always been, how to bring the temples to the streets so humanity could survive?
