Ball

I was very lazy to talk and was always obsessed with soccer, or specifically with soccer balls.

I had many of them and my first word was "ball".

While being lazy to talk, I was always eager to walk and be independent.

I was even proud to not need help getting to the couch to drink my baby bottle.

BTW, I played soccer from my early years until I was 12 years old, basically every single day, and also competed in futsal as a goalkeeper for many years.

I used to live 2 blocks from the beach, so playing soccer on the beach was also very frequent.

I think there are two insights here from my history:

• Trying to do things alone, really executing things
• Team player, working in a competitive space to learn how to lose and win as a team

Playing soccer with my father, who was a goalkeeper coach, was tough.

He used to throw the ball at my face so I wouldn't be afraid of the ball when competing.

It's not fun to be hit in the face but many things in life are not easy but they teach us a lot and make us stronger.
