Magzoid - International Art Magazine | Edition - Nov,2020

Guest of Honour
Eric Dailey
We love those moments,
watching sports matches
on our television with
our families all huddled up. It brings
a feeling of joy and tense electricity
in the room, with everybody
rooting for different teams. As we
watch players give in their all in the
game, their sweat, blood and tears
materialize into raw talent, we keep
ourselves entertained by these
national treasures. What many of
us forget to realize is the immeasurable
hard-work and dedication that
goes behind it. Their talent and skills
are incomplete without adequate
training given to them by the most
exemplary mentors, who always
keep pushing them to be the best
versions of themselves; to always
keep rising past the failures and
hoping for more.
Our first guest of honor for the evening,
Mr.Eric Dailey is the President
of the only International Basketball
Tournament at ESPN Wide World of
Sports at Walt Disney World resorts
Orlando in US organized annually,
Global Cup World Championship.
He is also the President of another
International company, Dailey Training
International. Both companies
operate out of three continents
around the world, Europe, Asia and
South America. He is a former professional
basketball player with
over 10 years professional playing
experience. He is a native Floridian
with roots in Ocala. Also, a 1994
graduate and four-year letterman
and team captain at (TCU) Texas
Christian University which led to
a ten (10) year professional basketball
career in Europe, Asia, and
South America. Mr.Dailey perceived
a creative vision coordinating the
legacy of peace and social tolerance
through international basketball. He
believes art and sports go hand in
hand since they require the similar
work ethics and the possess the
beauty of bringing out human life
and experience.
This pandemic has turned all of our
lives upside down, throwing us into
a completely unexpected loop which
many find difficult to come out of.
It’s been a moment of losing and
finding yourselves at the same time
and finding motivation to keep going
on during these trying times. Mr.
Dailey left us with some precious
advice for during and post pandemic.
His words couldn’t be better said
in game terms, ‘To make a comeback’.
This time right now that we
have, during which we’re immersed
in listening, watching and hoping
everything gets back to normal and
are so absorbed in our surroundings,
preparing for a comeback
with a better and more
self-content version of
yourself if the best that
you can do. This is a
time to rejuvenate as
well as train yourself
to be a masterpiece.
His calm manner
shadowing
years of experience
and hardwork
taught
us a lot about
humble greatness
and
the will and
strive to keep going on and bettering
one’s self. It was truly a pleasure
having him with us.
