2. Extreme Sports

3. I like all kinds of sports,
especially extreme sports.
They help me face my fears and
overcome obstacles.
I like being challenged and I am
not afraid of assuming risks.
When I practice sports I feel
independent and free.
It also helps me keep my
balance and relax.

AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?
Assuming Risks
Persistence
Self-Confidence

5. FACING FEAR:
While practicing extreme sports I
obviously feel scared, but at the same
time I want to overcome my fears.
I did parachute for the first time when I
was 16 years old during an exchange
program in New Zealand.
In Brazil I did it 3 times and it is still
scary but it does not stop me from
doing it.
It helps me personally and
professionally as I have learned to
overcome the obstacles that arise
from different situations and I am
determined to succeed.

6. I am not afraid of assuming risks. In
extreme sports I need to deal with it
otherwise I can’t go on.
I did the trilogy and the highest jump
was 134 meters. I felt excited doing
the 3 jumps at the same day.
It was a challenge for me, but helps
me to become a more courageous
and optimistic person.
ASSUMING RISKS:

7. SELF-CONFIDENCE:When I realize I am getting
better at a sport I become more
confident in what I’m doing and
then I can develop new
competences and improve the
ones I already have.
I started doing snowboard when
I was 14 years old and since
then it became my favorite
sport, helping me build valuable
social connections in different
countries such as United States,
Canada, New Zealand, Chile
and France.

8. PERSISTENCE:
Most challenges in life are difficult
so I learned that if you really have
a goal you can never give up until
you reach your objectives.
Nowadays I have been practicing
the standup paddle. I like to do it
really early in the morning
because the ocean is calmer.
In the begging it was really
difficult to stand up without falling
from the board, but the key is
concentration, focus in your body
movements and balance; skills
that can be translated into various
aspects of my daily life.
