- 18:55Τάξη στο χάος του ποδοσφαίρου: Οι κορυφαίοι σκόρερς είναι χασογκόληδες | Themis Kaisaris | TEDxAUEBΣτην ελληνική μυθολογία, το Κέρας της Αμάλθειας, γνωστό και ως Κέρας της Αφθονίας από το οποίο τρεφόταν ο Δίας, ήταν ένα σύμβολο ευημερίας, ένα δοχείο που ξεχείλιζε από τα δώρα της φύσης και τους πολύτιμους λίθους, αντιπροσωπεύοντας την απόλυτη ικανοποίηση των επιθυμιών. Ωστόσο, η εστίαση στην υλική ευημερία και την απόκτηση πλούτου δημιουργεί ένα ερώτημα: αν το κέρας της Αμάλθειας ήταν γεμάτο σήμερα, θα μας χάριζε την ίδια αίσθηση πληρότητας; Και εν τέλει τι σημαίνει πραγματικά αφθονία; Είναι η συσσώρευση πλούτου ή μήπως μια νοοτροπία που αμφισβητεί την έλλειψη; Τι θα γινόταν αν ορίζαμε την επιτυχία όχι από το πόσα κατέχουμε, αλλά από το πόσα μοιραζόμαστε; Ο Θέμης Καίσαρης είναι ένας από τους πιο καταξιωμένους αθλητικούς δημοσιογράφους στην Ελλάδα. Με πορεία από το 1996 στο Sport.gr, την ΕΡΑ Σπορ, το Sentra και σήμερα ως Διευθυντής Σύνταξης στο SPORT24 Radio 103.3, έχει παρακολουθήσει από πρώτο χέρι την εξέλιξη του αθλητικού ρεπορτάζ.Ακόμη, μέσα από το podcast Ζοσιμάρ και την εκπομπή OnlyFacts, χρησιμοποιεί τα δεδομένα της Opta για να προσφέρει μια νέα διάσταση στην ανάλυση του ποδοσφαίρου, αποκαλύπτοντας την κρυφή στρατηγική πίσω από κάθε παιχνίδι.Από το παιδικό του όνειρο να γίνει τερματοφύλακας, μέχρι τη μετατροπή του σε έναν από τους πιο καινοτόμους αθλητικούς αναλυτές, ο Θέμης μας προσκαλεί να δούμε το ποδόσφαιρο με έναν νέο τρόπο – μέσα από τα δεδομένα και τις ιστορίες που κρύβονται πίσω από κάθε στατιστικό.
