Mi equipo olímpico: Mi Familia | Adriana Díaz | TEDxYouth@Dorado


I do not remember when it was the first time

that with a table tennis racket

since I can remember what it takes

doing all my life I remember that my

dad always practiced in the club

table tennis and I like Utuado

still does not come to the table because I

put to practice on the wall one

agreement that one of the mother of one of

the kids started throwing me little ball in

the table and I then start little by little and

from there I knew I wanted to continue

improving and that ‘s what he wants to do

for the rest of my life I love the

idea that my family all practice

this sport

my dad was a national adult team in

his youth

my mom was also trained

part of the female national team

my sister give me and that the blue the biggest

and it was also part of the

adult luggage next to myself

gabriela azul clarito in the second and

also with national youth team

myself fabiola that the smallest

of all that also blue but where

go and this one also national team

childish and for me it is a confidence

total that I have with them because all

we do what we like and the same

sport and I love the idea that

we practice together we talk

point at dinner we talk about that is all

very funny

in life you have to do many

sacrifices and sports has also

touched a vial he now fears

special event this holidays and mother

until four years ago that it does not pass

the birthday with my family and this

year yes I had the opportunity and the

we had a great time and it takes very good advantage

this while I was entering china and

my sister is a competition in

Colombia

we suffer the death of my great grandmother but

that though the sacrifices so well

difficult I know that in the end it is worth

pity and that each sacrifice betrayal

reward

since I was a little girl, I always dreamed

classified an Olympiad I think it’s

the dream of all led to represent your

country in the olympic

then I laugh I saw it far away but

I already like a legal dream but I

I knew that if he works hard I will

achieve it then it was already there was

in the final against a Cuba says

Castle 38 years and had played with

she previously did not know how

play and that and I was going to be ready to

what will happen even though I knew that

I could do it if everything was done

I had practiced and I had confidence

as well

this pre-Olympic to the river games

2016

the little Puerto Rican girl from just

15 years and the first one that says present

in the appointment of the five rings in river

from janeiro there are books for everything

all puerto rico correcting congratulate her

it is not for less is not for less

is the result of a year’s work that

they have been making the hug between father

and daughter

equipment

at that moment I knew how to see it happen

many things in my head have fulfilled

my dream

Puerto Rico

Roosevelt was brutal

I do not know if they noticed that when I threw

on the floor I was looking at my sister was

because one minute before the match

she told me adriana promise me that she had

to qualify for the olympics and joe l

it’s okay that I promise and I

was very surprised because she too

I was there trying Olympic technique

there is always that important date see

the inauguration

he decides the stadium in people and

I had not been able to attend the

Central Americans because it was too far

of the stadium and the other day of the

competition from the early and

Pan American is a little bit because

we are days after the parade

important of all

inauguration is talking to me

the organization could come to 20

people and that was between her was

I but could not and then I am

room and does not call and says allianz

warning that you have to go down and

I want to go because if my dad can not

I do not want to say I have now come

there he only arrived next to him then

I’m not going to parade, heaven was

my side and the organization you see it knew

my decision and silva could and had to

save it with a jacket and big

that big but but you can look at the

It happens very well this is an experience

it only inspired me a lot

because they are what comes back to repeat

for the whole year and that helped me a lot

to continue working my dream

in the competition also a

unique experience I had never been

such a big stage and the most that I

liked was that practically or almost

Puerto Rico all got up early

it motivated me to continue teaching the

sport to my sport truth that no
