when a child starts in sports what
it does for a dream
children do not think about the prestige in
fame children think and have a
dream of mine for example was to be
gymnast
I remember that the year 92 television
open broadcast the olympic games
from Barcelona the screen was a gymnast
As the
with an incredible physique going around in
the fixed bar you know in that iron
where they let go they grab hold
suddenly the device is dismantled falls no
move a muscle separates a sand with
10,000 people applaud him and in that
moment was when I said I want to be there
and I told my mother I want to be a gymnast
if we mix that idea that I had that
dream when I was very small with the
tremendous attention deficit to which
I had
that showed him doing tremendous
mischief with my sister that I am today
in day in the morning here for my mother
it was not that difficult to support me I take a
club sport club huachipato started
this dream of becoming a gymnast
for my dream mission for her was
just pay for my energy
they went down a little
when they start the sport all part
how a game was in the province
you train something like all three hours
a week
and it is with great difficulty there is no
implementation there are no resources dads
finance everything is complicated but with
some discipline
with a little bit of work
manages to go to a national championship and is
there when some of us bite the bug
to be professional because you face
the great club of santiago to the
tremendous gymnasts that there are today and
that they had in that time and wants to be
professional but in Chile it’s super
difficult to do sport is very difficult more
there is no infrastructure in
those years that there is not a system that
provoke and cause them to exist
high performance athletes there is
sports culture
there is no sports culture
and because I tell them I have more than 12
years putting the Chilean flag here
in the chest 12 years in which I was
charge of the national team as
captain in the era where you take gonzález
He was an Olympic finalist and I’ve seen
many young people get to the programs of
selections with the suitcase loaded with
dreams filled with challenges and in search
of tremendous tremendous results that
they expect or have expected to achieve
throughout their lives they have been
linked to sport and that’s why
that those results or those dreams that
have had given us
reasons for example as the lesson there
many athletes you do not know
that due to injury could not continue
forward or they are also
those that the future taught the
indiscipline there are athletes who have
wasted his career already in callo what
that all the athletes we
We believe that where we do not have to arrive
that to frustration
I’m going to talk about when I was 16 years old
and had to make the decision to
dedicate myself to sport
I remember that I was with my mother and
I said mother I want to go for sport
I want to do this in my life and I swear
It was not easy, it was not easy to take the
edition why
the criticism was the first thing that appeared
not just the people around us
but also from our friends from
our relatives because let’s put in
context a penquista with 16 years go to
live to Santiago alone without studying
professional sport with a little unusual
not something that once only in the
movies that does not happen here in chile
but is that the parents were a role
fundamental when talking about high
performance and when talking about the
training of an athlete
but parents also need a
support for
parents need support
because it is not easy to face the time
sports culture in this country and I what
I see today as a coach that I have
that also educate parents so that
if this culture today I’m a coach of
selection of minors from our country and
I’ve had to face parents and
parents that truth has no
idea of what your children are seeing
but going back to the subject of my mother
when I ask my family and I
He counted this longing and confronted them
telling them that I was going to go to
santiago what do you think was what
that the family told them
the real family did not say much but
left a doubt of that doubt and those
questions that make me even deeper the
thesis that there is no sport culture in
our country
the question was and how will cristian
to get ahead if the sport does not
it gives nothing
get ahead
in what we call high
performance prepare us for life
prepare us for life and deliver
all persons or children who initiate
a different erection process
tools that make it advance in the
post sports because if you come to sports
it has to do with obviously having
great sporting results too
it has to do with preparing man
for life and in that context
we have for example a sports
have good relationships
relationships with their closest
with your family with your friends the sport
you have to understand that it can impact
both positively and negatively
in another person
the athlete has a very important role
important to society once a
great coach told me that the higher
success achieved altar of an athlete
greater the commitment you have to have
with society, sport also has
that remove that stigma that we all believe
that the studies are not linked to the
sports lie an athlete must
study must have study habits
at least
move forward in a sports career maybe
not have an academic load like
the one that has a normal student who does not
has seven hours of training
but he has to advance in the
study let’s remember that the studies are
those who give us the later tool
to sport
work or profession has to do with
that we have to work very
hard to achieve our goal as
the work is directly related
with motivation you know why
because if one worked hard I did not advance
and this transcends
if I do not advance as you motivate
that’s why hard work is super
important and we the officers
we know we know what it means
work hard and finally the
athletes must develop different
skill types skills
have a better person skills
that are related to sport
such as attending the sessions
of kinesiology eat well feed
well supplement be known
write read dance
they are different skills that are going to
help develop us in many other
things and other facets that not only
have to do with sports and that we
they are going to make beings much more whole and
healthy body but also of mind and
I’m going to stay in the mind because the
mind to me
is the fundamental factor that has to
have an athlete when talking
high performance
the athlete should not be afraid
you know why
once a coach of a champion
Olympic in one during a circuit of
Cups of the world told me
the sport
for people it is more dangerous than
war
when one goes to war
if one loses you simply die
but when he’s not in sports he’s going to
compete and lose you live with that
frustration the rest of your life
the rest of your life
but not to live with that frustration
one has to have a very very mind
very worked develop skills and
everything that gives you the tools to
to be able to understand what you have to have
the feet the feet well placed in the
land to know what are the
results you were looking for
what are the goals you are going to look for
and so you will never be
working for some achievable that what
that makes the difference between someone who
he knows where he is walking and someone
that is in search of some reachable
to put this in context
I speak of putting your feet in the land of
contextualize what one wants and this
transcends beyond sport
I obviously remember that when I arrived
I come to Santiago with the coach
Cuban in that time in the
selection and tells me
look you are never going to be Olympic champion
you will never be a world champion but
if you work hard if you study if
you develop your skills if you do what
what do you have to do with a lot
discipline is very likely that life
I reward you
and be continental champion medalist in
a South American in a Pan-American or what
better if you work much harder still
and he gets a lot more head can get
to a world final
and that at that moment it hurt a lot
imagine when one comes to sports and
believe is the selection is competing
already today by the Olympic average and it is not like that
it’s not like that one has to have the feet
Well, the feet well laid the earth
contextualize knowing where you are going and
that’s what led me to achieve the
results that I had and that’s what I
led to today standing here be
coach and set goals
concrete
now I ask you
they develop their skill
how are the social relationships of
you
how long ago you do not write in a letter
it’s not the same thing that a person reads
that you feel that you tell them because
can you tell me no if I always
I tell my partner that I love him
dad that I love her but someone said by
there the words are taken by the
wind
I believe them in an exercise when they reach
your house write
write write about the four
aspects that we have been talking about and that
speak to you at this time write about
their fears write about what they
passionate and based on that there will be a plan
of action an action plan that changes
his life
because that what makes the difference
between a person who gets up all
the days
to take the same coffee to eat the same
they will fall into the routine routine that all
us and most people to
drop
and that basically always ends in
psychological depressions
problems of excess family breakups
and the truth is that in sports
we love the routine we choose it
we want that routine because
we know where we’re going because we know
in what way do we have to work
our routine therefore do the
exercise write write down because yes
they know how to get ahead they will also know how
keep going thank you very much
