Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?
I am a pole vault athlete and I have a degree in business administration from PUC-SP.
Sports have always been my passion. I have started my career in artistic gymnastics, competed professionally for 8 years and acquired a lot of experience, which helped me in the transition to the Pole Vault.
Right in my first year in the sport, I stood out and became part of the Brazilian athletics team. In the following years, I have continued to evolve and to reach new heights, and I have become a Brazilian record holder in the under-18 and under-23 categories. Still 22 years old, in 2018, I jumped the 4.56m mark and became the 2nd best jumper in the history of Brazil, behind Fabiana Murer.
Last year, I realized the dream of participating in the Pan American Games, competing with big names in the sport and winning the 8th place. I have already accomplished many of the things I dreamed of, but my biggest goals have not yet been achieved. Today, what I want the most is to win the Olympic spot, and I consider myself a strong candidate to get it for Tokio 2021.
When I'm competing, I seek fair and clean competition, regardless of victory. I would like to mention the University World Cup as an example in 2019, when my poles didn't arrive in time for the qualifying and an American athlete lent me her poles so I could compete. We didn't know each other, and without the material, I would already be out of the competition. Thanks to her, I was able to qualify and compete in the finals I wanted so much, this time with my own poles. Although, in this case, I was the beneficiary, I would certainly act exactly like her. It is this type of message that I want to pass on to those who watch and cheer for me.
Much of what I am I owe to sport, it has shaped me as a person and made me persevering. In my point of view, the biggest challenge in being an athlete is to stay focused on the goals without being overwhelmed by the obstacles of the process. Currently, despite being a three-time Brazilian champion and leader of the national ranking, I remain without sponsorship, and that does not prevent me from continuing to seek better training conditions.
Pole vault is a sport that requires investment. All the necessary materials, such as the mattress and the poles themselves, are imported and the most important competitions are held in Europe. Due to lack of resources, my companions and I are used to train with the same poles that Fabiana Murer used 15 years ago, which are already worn out. In addition to not working as they should, there is a risk of breakage that exposes us to serious injuries. Due to conditions like these, sponsorship would have a big positive impact on my career.
I see myself with the potential to be an example of sportsmanship, as well as determination and overcoming. Among the difficulties I went through is my most recent injury. At the end of 2019, I suffered a frightening fall during a workout. I broke my nose, had to operate on it and go through a painful recovery process in the middle of the season. Without getting discouraged, I started training again in early January, when the doctors released me, working even harder, willing to recover the loss and be prepared to join the Brazilian team. A month later, despite still jumping with the protective mask, I became the South American indoor runner-up.
I trust in my potential to continue in the search for excellence, doing more and better. Therefore, I dedicate 100% of my time and energy to my sport. I believe that I can be an example for other women who struggle in search of their dreams, whether they are athletes or not. I do my best in training, I study the jumping technique, I dedicate myself fully, and I live athletics on and off the tracks.
