impactful change
I’m deeply committed to giving back to the community here in Brazil, where I work with athletes who are striving to find opportunities for a better life. I believe in empowering these individuals, providing them with the support and resources they need to pursue their dreams. In addition to supporting athletes, I dedicate my efforts to animal welfare, working to ensure that animals are treated with the care and respect they deserve.
I also focus on helping those in need, whether it’s providing food for those living on the streets or supporting local businesses in struggling communities. It’s important to me to help in any way I can, because I know what it feels like to face hardship. For me, it’s not just about charity; it’s about sharing the love and connection that binds us all together. We are all one, and when we uplift each other, we create a stronger, more compassionate world.
I have a deep respect for Brazil’s natural beauty and resources, and I am committed to living sustainably, protecting the environment, and conserving the land that sustains us all.
CASE ATHLETE PROJECT
I’m proud to lead an MMA athlete project at Fightcenter Garopaba, where altogether 30 young athletes have been given the opportunity to train, grow, and learn valuable life skills. Through this project, they’re not only focusing on becoming better athletes, but also learning to navigate life’s challenges, build their character, and develop essential skills to thrive both inside and outside the gym.
The goal is to foster a sense of community, where they can share experiences, learn from each other, and support one another in overcoming difficulties. As a coach, I’ve been committed to providing not just training, but also food and assistance with living costs, as many of these young athletes come from difficult backgrounds. Starting out as an athlete in Brazil is not easy, and the pressure to fall into crime is high when life is tough. This project has created a space where they can focus on building skills, finding purpose, and pursuing a positive path.
There have been ups and downs, as there always are in any journey, but each athlete has learned something valuable along the way. Whether it’s about perseverance, teamwork, or the discipline needed to succeed, the lessons go beyond just fighting. Through this project, these athletes have gained a chance to change their lives and grow into strong individuals with a brighter future ahead.
