Minha pequena judoca brilhou em sua primeira competição, e como pai, meu coração transborda de realização. A emoção tomou conta de mim naquele momento, e agora, ao escrever este post, é difícil conter as lágrimas de orgulho. 🥋🥲
A chegada de Bela já trouxe inúmeras alegrias à minha vida, mas esta competição se destaca como um momento especial que guardarei para sempre. 🙏🥹
Ao longo de 30 anos no judô, seja na busca constante por aprimoramento, no alto rendimento, na partilha de conhecimento ou como um simples hobby, essa jornada moldou quem sou. Os princípios, a disciplina e o respeito aprendidos nesse caminho contribuíram para minha formação. Ceder para vencer tornou-se um mantra.
Agradeço aos meus pais por sempre me incentivarem nessa trajetória. E para aqueles curiosos, o que me enche de alegria é que Bela escolheu o judô por sua própria vontade.
Estarei aqui, minha filha, em todas as derrotas, nas vitórias e ao longo de toda a sua jornada neste esporte incrível. Te amo! ❤️
