00:00First, speaking of the camp, what motivated you to create this project?
00:03Did you already have this desire to teach what you've learned during all these years in volleyball?
00:10Look, the camp is something that's been in my plans for quite some time now.
00:17We came up with this idea a few years ago.
00:21We have eight volleyball school units, we have a competitive team.
00:25And now this idea of a camp for boys and girls aged 11 to 17.
00:30Why?
00:31Sport has completely changed my life, my perspective on life, my dreams, my behavior.
00:37So, it's another way to create opportunities for these children to experience this, to live through this.
00:45Not only learning about playing volleyball, but learning about the values of the sport.
00:51So, how will this generation, which will be our future generation,
00:55I believe that sport is a great tool to help in this process.
00:59to become not only athletes, but also great citizens.
01:03And here they will receive preparation not only technically and tactically, but also psychologically.
01:08There's the team's psychologist.
01:10What do you expect these boys and girls to leave here knowing this?
01:14Especially after those three days of immersion?
01:18Well, we have several goals.
01:21Several, right?
01:22First of all, they should leave here with a clear improvement over how they arrived, right?
01:28May they emerge as better athletes, as better volleyball players.
01:33Let them learn about the values I mentioned earlier.
01:37That they learn, along with the psychologist, some tools to deal with the pressure.
01:44Dealing with social media, dealing with anxiety, dealing with nervousness, right?
01:50One's own limitations, how to overcome them, how to resist them.
01:53So, there's no recipe, right?
01:56But as a professional of that caliber, we bring her to the campus to contribute as well, right?
02:03A mental understanding that they can gain through this immersion, they discover.
02:09And go far beyond what they imagine, right?
02:12Do not limit yourself in any way.
02:14This is also one of our main goals.
02:18Obviously, you bring with you the teachings you have and bring them here, like this:
02:22throughout his career.
02:24Is there a specific story that you have told, or plan to tell, to them?
02:29So, what do you think is important in your life?
02:33Look, I think it's really cool with a group of kids that age.
02:37We'll even have a group activity.
02:40Me and my daughter.
02:41I think it's very important for them to understand that nothing falls into their lap.
02:47That nothing is easy, that you have to fight, that you have to go after your dreams.
02:52Melzinha was born into a wonderful situation,
02:56Unlike mine, when I was a child.
02:59But I never made that a priority.
03:02I always made her push herself to discover herself.
03:09She's going after what she wants, right?
03:12To explore yourself, to feel empowered.
03:16Because I always said that I would always do it for her.
03:20which she is not capable of doing.
03:21The rest is up to her.
03:23So that's what I want to plant in the hearts of these children, right?
03:26Because nowadays everything happens at Google speed, right?
03:29They want to go yesterday.
03:30And that's not how it is.
03:31We know that's not how it works.
03:32So, regarding that, it's going to be something very special.
03:35Because they'll be seeing a girl who's from their generation, right?
03:39And to understand what that mother-daughter relationship was like,
03:42Daughter and mom too, right?
03:44How my daughter's journey begins,
03:46What's it like having a daughter who is a high-performance athlete?
03:49So it's going to be a very special exchange.
03:52And speaking specifically about this new generation,
03:55The motto here at the campsite is "I believe in the new generation."
03:59We're going through a rough patch right now, aren't we?
04:01In men's volleyball, for example,
04:02And that brought back the debate about this investment in the base,
04:06In short, recent results are not good.
04:08What do you think are the main difficulties, then?
04:11What about youth categories in Brazil today?
04:15Well, there's a lack of support, isn't there?
04:17Financial support.
04:19Companies already know, historically,
04:22How much this adds value.
04:23Not only for the sport, but also a return for the company.
04:27So, that exchange is missing.
04:29We have a much greater potential to assemble more teams, right?
04:33Which I think is the second reason.
04:36Having more teams to offer this option, to give opportunities,
04:39So that these children can develop, right?
04:43Getting ready.
04:44When they reach adulthood, they'll actually be ready, right?
04:47To cope with all the pressure, all the demands,
04:50Whether it's from the media or the fans, right?
04:53So, and the responsible entities should also look at the base.
04:59More seriously, understand that if you don't take care of the beginning,
05:04It won't even have a middle ground and it will be the end, right?
05:07So, I sounded handsome, right?
05:10Yes, but that's really what it's about.
05:14I think those three reasons are literally the basis.
05:19so that our younger categories
05:22Things may not be going as we would like.
05:25And going back a bit to the camping trip,
05:26Obviously, today is still the first day of this project.
05:30But do you already have your next steps in mind?
05:33Suddenly, growing up? Anyway...
05:35Look, we'll be doing an edition every year, right?
05:39So, what happens then?
05:41To benefit as many people as possible,
05:44We'll try to vary the location, right?
05:46So, the idea is to do it once a year.
05:49so that it becomes an object of desire,
05:50so that it's something that children can actually understand.
05:53which is not exactly a holiday camp,
05:56to learn, to grow, and to evolve.
06:00So, it's a very important project, right?
06:04A great responsibility
06:05that I want to do once a year
06:07Because planning is necessary, right?
06:09We are dealing with dreams.
06:12with young children who haven't truly discovered themselves yet.
06:16So, that's the idea, right?
06:18At least once a year,
06:20us making all this effort
06:22so that this event can happen
06:24And try to vary the locations across the states of Brazil, right?
06:28And of course, we'll be there with open arms.
06:30for support and for opportunities
06:33in other gyms and in other states.
