From another point of view


Well, I never really thought in what study program I like when I was younger, it was very easy to be honest. Football was all to me, I used to think like Thierry Henry –one of the greatest footballers of France's history-, he said: “I eat football, I dream football, I breathe football. I`m not insane, I’m passionate.” That was me, but I never took the decision to train with the young divisions of a professional team. So, I was almost 16 years old and that is an “old” age to start in football. I mean, there are some things that you need to learn when you are like 10 years old, if you try to learn it at 16 you are giving a huge advantage to your teammates.

Considering that, one day my dad came and said: “I think you must study journalism and be a sports journalist”, I don`t even thought about it, it had perfect sense to me. So, since that day until now that my goal, I want to be a great sports journalist because I think that here in Chile there are a lot of journalists that can talk about football, but they have no idea about rugby, basketball, athletics, and many others sports that has the same importance.

It`s true that what I know the most is the same of all, football, thats why I always try to pay attention to the rules of other sports. I have friends that love basketball, for example, and I make questions abuot it to them to learn about it. My dad watches rugby and american football and he explains it to me. This way I learn about a lot of sports and I can go out of this bubble that is football today.

  1. I like sports too, and it's true that in Chile the sports that are not football don't get the attention they need. Hope you can contribute to change that!
