Thymos
The principle of Sports foundation Wageningen University (SWU) Thymos is to get all students at
Wageningen University to sport. In co-operation with University Sports centre
the Bongerd (USB), we try to create a perfect climate for sporting in Wageningen. Last year,
we were rated a 9.9 in an investigation under the students at Wageningen University!! Of course
we will try to get a perfect 10 this year.
The name Thymos is originated out of the Greek antiquity. We got it out one of the books from Plato.
In this book he is philosophising about the importance of sports in the society. This is what
he called Thymos: "Enrichment of the energy of the soul by the means of physical exercise".
Thymos consists of the General Management and the Daily Management. What this meams and what Thymos is,
can be read in the relevant headlines.
