As a soccer player, Raí Souza Vieira de Oliveira commanded the teams where he passed and. As an activist, he climbed on stands and.
The role of leader and the ability to speak in public may seem natural, but were unthinkable to a boy who, during his childhood, could not even read school work aloud. “I trembled when it was my turn,” recalls today’s São Paulo and PSG idol.
It was the sport, he says, who led the radical change in behavior. “I always say that my shyness was almost sick. And the fact that I feel good in a sports space, it helped me in human relationships,” he says at the first time he offers online classes.
Raí debuts on February 20, with the unprecedented course “Athlete Mint: From Sport to Life”. He joins other big names in CasaFolha, such as filmmaker José Padilha, the Monja Coen, and former Minister Pedro Malan ,.

In his course, Raí revisits his career and shows how the mindset of a professional athlete is. The idea, says the ace, is “adapting this to no matter what activity. Adapt my learning from teamwork, crisis management, adaptation to different environments and cultures, leadership.”
“We will go through all these experiences that sport gives us. What everyone lives in a career of 40 or 50 years, the sportsman has to live in 10 or 15. So it’s all very intense,” he says.
In your case, winning shyness was just one of the learning. He added to him countless others, including discipline, motivation, resilience in the face of challenges and the ability to manage pressure in the most decisive moments – all themes he covers in his course at CasaFolha.
Raí always got along in sports. Encouraged by his father and driven by an innate passion, he won his first still small medal, with the title of Paulista runner-up in the 12, 13 years category. At home, he was a goalkeeper who played, throwing himself on the bed.
Until he realized that, like Socrates, one of his five older brothers, he stood out a lot as a line player in football. “This discovery of my talent for football has marked my life,” he says. The rest is history.
It started in Botafogo of Ribeirão Preto, a city in which he was born, in the interior of São Paulo. He was professional at 18, had a quick passage through Ponte Preta and, at 22, received the convening of the Brazilian National Team for the first time-while wearing the shirt of a large club.
In 1987, he signed a contract with Sao Paulo, where he won one title after another and scored decisive goals. In 1993, he migrated to PSG, a club that helped erect and recognize him as a great idol to this day. Returned to Sao Paulo in 1998 and.
