Mindset Sagas – E003 – The Divine Games

Athletic competition is something many of us are passionate about. Certainly we see countless examples of this throughout recorded history, and doubtless has been with us long before that. Perhaps nothing is as iconic as the concept of the Olympic games originally held at the foot of Mt. Olympus in Greece. Why do the games have such a hold on us? Why are still with us? What are possible factors that cause us to enjoy spectating sporting events? We will also be looking at the interest in Japan about their upcoming Olympics in 2020 in our interview with Kant Koga of the IOPC (Ichihara Olympic Preparation Committee) in Japan.
