Who am I? Story of an Olympic Fencer

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Good day everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself to the community.

My name is Daniel and I was born in Mexico City!

My dad always forced me to play sports when I was a kid. I tried almost every sport you can think of and got bored of it until at age 12 I discovered fencing! Yes the sport where you fight with swords.

I fell in love with and practiced it for years.

I got really passionate about it and eventually started competing at a high level. After many years of working hard I made the national team! I was so happy and excited about it that I kept trying to get better every day. Good results followed. I was able to win some important tournaments!

Some people are not going to believe it but I had worked so hard that one day I made it to the Olympics! I became an olympian and was so happy about it.

For everyone out there my advice is to keep working hard and always pursue your dreams. Dont be afraid of aiming high and no matter how many obstacles are in the way, you just gotta keep going!

Ill eventually upload a video and write more when I have time.

Thanks for reading!

I am not promoting facebook haha but since many of my pictures are there you can check them out! I will eventually start moving everything to steem it. Love the platform!

Welcome, Daniel (nice name ;) ) Great to see an Olympian make it to Steemit :) I am really curious for your (sports) content, but a bit of basic/beginner knowledge on crypto is very welcome as well.

If you are interested, my Steemit content is focusing on how humans interact with technology and how to optimise that, based on my Sports Technology background :)

I will be uploading another post soon, maybe a video to tell the community a little bit about the sport. Thanks for the post and welcome to Steem it as well.

Fencing! How wonderful. :D
Congrats on having made the Olympics doing a sport you so clearly love.
