It's a long story... I've always been an athlete, for as long as I can remember - at 14 I was national fencing champion, for example. Powerlifing, my current sport, is pretty recent in my life: my first championship was in August 2006, three weeks after I started training. However, I had always been involved in sports, in general, and in weight training for at least two years.
Why I Love It:
I love powerlifting because the training itself balances my mind and body, it is something of a transcendental experience. Competing is like being elavated to another consciousness level. The intensity of the experience is uncomparable to anything I've ever felt (except competing, in another sport).
How I Stay Motivated:
It is the most important thing in my life. It saved my life from a lethal disorder and the most important part of the day is training - when I really feel good. I stay motivated because of SHEER PLEASURE and EXCITEMENT.
BB Accomplishments:
Powerlifting.

Break records, all I can, both open and master, regional, national and whatever I can lift my way to...
Goal (Long):
There is no division line between my own athletic goal and my life-project goal concerning the sport: I want to make a difference, to do my part in strengthening powerlifting and the strength sports in general in my country and, in this manner, to help those for whom this is decisive for their survival and resistence to hardship. Yes, I am proud when I improve my marks, but I am prouder when I succeed in getting sponsorship for our program. I need to be a good athlete, train hard and improve not only for myself, but to be a good sister to my fellow powerlifting athletes in Brazil.
