“YOU decide WHO you want TO BE!” 💪🏼 I have a personal background story which explainsn why I constantly keep training hard and I always do my best to challenge myself. When I was 8 I was a skinny kid with a lot of energy and love for football but I was weak. My genetics were not the best in terms of body structure because my bones are extremely thin and light for genetic nature with a big sensitivity to food. This means I’ve always been thinner and a bit smaller than other kids. One day -when I was 8- my mother left abroad for business reasons and she gave me a leather ball to play football with. It became my biggest treasure. One day an arrogant kid approached me and started to bother me. He was more or less 11/12 (at that age the physical difference was big). He tried to take my ball with the strength and then after a few attempts, he physically won and stole it from me. I was weak. Skinny. With no control or strength. I yelled at him and started to cry and running to take my ball back. He ran away from me of course but I was ready to give my own body to have my ball back. My breathe was breaking, I almost got him but he reached other 2 friends and they ran away in other directions. They “won”. But for me was not a game at all, I felt on the ground, exhausted and defeated. They stole my “treasure”and my biggest blame I had was on me because I haven’t been physically enough to fight them and have it back. From that day I started to do 10 pushups everyday and to train in athletics. I kept saying to myself “from now on...nobody will be faster than me”. I BENT MY OWN FUTURE AND GENETICS. I spit blood, sweat, tears, and sometimes I even threw you after training. Against my own genetics and nature I kept training hard everyday and at the age of 14 I won my first national championship. From that moment, I’ve always been able to overcome everything. Protect myself and the things that matter, including my friends. Making you understand you can do anything in life and you can become whoever you want! This has become my life goal and also my biggest strength. 💪🏼 Bless you for reading❤️ #LeonChiro #Positivity #StandProud #Power #NeverGiveUp #BeStrong (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrVw_NjHCx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18wl7cil8ke4n
