Building stronger youth is at the center of the WSV effort, which encourages links and mutual understanding between people. This value refers to building a peaceful and better world through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism in sport. Football, Cheer, and Track & Field inspire people to overcome political, economic, gender, racial or religious differences and forge friendships in spite of those differences. For athletes, this means forming life-long bonds with their team-mates, as well as their opponents. I always remind our young men and women that we have opponents and not enemies.
