00:00My name is Laura Tobar, I have 26 years old.
00:03I'm going to play squash in a professional way.
00:06I decided to play squash in a professional sport
00:09because since I was very little I had the opportunity
00:11to be part of the juveniles and the juveniles.
00:15So when you live that and you realize
00:18that that's the life you want,
00:19I wanted to play squash in a professional sport,
00:22to travel around the world with my two racquetas.
00:25That's what inspired me a lot.
00:26My dad told me when I was 10 years old.
00:30So I said to myself, I wanted to live in the sport.
00:33I found a lot of beautiful people in this media.
00:35You learn a lot, you know yourself.
00:37And there's nothing more beautiful than doing something
00:39that makes you happy.
00:41The most machista that I live in the sport
00:43would be that women in the squash
00:45they play fast.
00:45The truth is that it is not so.
00:47Maybe we are not the same number as men,
00:50but we are able to achieve many things,
00:53to demonstrate that the sport is nice.
00:55The number of women is not the same
00:57as men,
00:59so to be the 90% of the world
01:02being a woman
01:03is not the same as the 90% of the world being a man.
01:06Maybe they consider
01:07that we have a benefit
01:09by the number of players
01:10that are currently playing the tour.
01:12But it doesn't mean
01:13that we don't train,
01:14that we don't dedicate,
01:15that we don't have to invest
01:16many things
01:17to get where we are.
01:18Is necessary
01:19the gender equality in the sport
01:20simply
01:21because it makes
01:22the discipline
01:23makes it grow.
01:25It makes it grow.
01:25When we see men and women
01:26doing the same thing,
01:27we realize that
01:28every person
01:29is capable
01:30of doing the sport,
01:31of being successful,
01:32of being a human being,
01:33so it makes it grow.
01:35And apart from that,
01:36it has a very important effect
01:38social effect.
01:39When you see women
01:40in the sport,
01:41that is inspiring.
01:42So many families
01:43want to put their children
01:45in the sport.
01:46Even adults
01:47want to practice
01:48and get involved
01:49in the process
01:50of their children.
