Athletes... The Beauty of the Sport!


Watching the BCS National Championship today, after Tim Tebow's speech promissing the fans to give his best, his 100% perfomance... promissing that the whole team would do it, I realized the Power of the Will! And so I watched it happening tonight...


That made me think of how life would have been like if I had decided to play professional Volleyball when I was 16 years old, back in Brazil. At the peak of my perfomance, accepted at one of the best Volleyball Clubs in Brasil, Minas Tennis Club, I made a responsible choice at the time to finish school and have a job... But one thing I regret the most is to have lost the opportunity of feeling how a gold medal shines in your neck.


The most amazing thing about the College Sports in the United States is the fact that all those kids playing at their best on the field are also working hard on their college degrees, practicing every day to get better and make their teammates better players too... What a wonderful experience!
