What was your professional life like at the age of 18?

I was at the Journalism Faculty and wanted to – Apenas – to be a host of Jornal Nacional. But no one in my family was a journalist, I didn’t have “godparents” or “who indicates”. I looked at the profession with doses of admiration, dreams and doubts about what would really happen.

Those who were not born heir and with the option of working at the family company may have a similar thinking when entering adulthood, or even more insecurities.

Athletes are different. They begin to compete in childhood, mature early, start a career before us as short.

Success leads them to a professional life before the eyes of the world, and is the game. But it is not because they are public people who are required to hear challenges.

I find it sad to see and read recent reviews about tennis player João Fonseca. A few months ago, it was the golden boy of Brazil; Now, no longer is it?

I saw an acquaintance to be impatient when Joao, a newcomer, lost in the third round of Wimbledon, here in London. I don’t understand how there were people who wereted life time to enter your Instagram account and attack him when he was eliminated at the Toronto Masters 1000 debut.

In addition to talent, dedication, luck, becoming professional athlete takes a lot of money. Especially in Brazil, which wastes talent because of public policies that do not value the sport.

Apart from popular modalities such as football, volleyball, judo, we live on sparse idols. Every many years comes a Rebeca Andrade, a João Fonseca, an Isaquias Queiroz, an Ana Marcela Cunha, a Bia Haddad.

When it happens, the excitement of cheering for ours is sometimes run over by the fact that we live in an immediate society. Patience is short, there are those who think they need to have an opinion on everything, even not understanding anything about what they criticize. Social networks turn heroes into failed seconds. Invading the profile of an athlete or Brazilians of Brazilians to curse them has nothing funny, it is lack of education. Do this live in a match, you don’t even talk.

In addition to cruel, these attitudes show ignorance because they do not take into account fundamental points in sport: most lose more than they earn; The opponent can be better and more prepared than the athlete for those who cheer.

In January, shortly after the tennis player burst, I wrote a column entitled “João Fonseca has no obligation to be what Brazil has good”. Argued that Brazilians’ sports success brings pride and is part of the construction of our national identity; But sometimes we exaggerately project in the other expectations that are actually part of the ideal of success we would like for us. We depend on other people to value our country.

This column is not just about John, because this kind of behavior is not only directed at it. For those who prefers impatience, lack of education or cursing, you can be sure that no one is wanting to win more than the athlete himself. Is this how you would treat your son or teenage daughter? Or is it how you would like to have been dealt with when starting professional life? A little empathy doesn’t hurt anyone.
