Our FTA Official athletes come from diverse backgrounds but share a common drive to push limits. Gilly’s love for swimming and multisport led her to triathlon after falling in love with a 70.3 race in Brazil. Thales was inspired by curiosity and self-improvement, learning the power of belief and goal-setting. Diogo’s time in the Brazilian Army instilled discipline and mental resilience, fueling his passion for endurance. Patrick’s shift to endurance sports came during COVID lockdowns, where he discovered confidence through strategy and hard work. Together, their journeys reflect growth, determination, and the transformative power of endurance sports.

For the FTA Official team, success comes from mastering both mindset and routine. Consistency is key—showing up day after day, even when it’s not perfect. They focus on enjoying the process, setting realistic goals, and tracking progress step by step. Quality sleep, balanced nutrition, and keeping life fun and social are just as important as the training itself. Surrounding themselves with good friends, training partners, and a supportive community keeps motivation high. Most importantly, they remind themselves to train for personal pride and happiness—not for external validation.
