The practice of sport increases many teaching in the life of any person.
Some choose a modality and they practice it in the weekends, already
another dive of head in the sport and they are devoted the possible
maximum and they learn how to have discipline to workout always and
dedication for not giving up in front of the challenges. Tiago Geitens,
19 years old, he is a guy that takes the sport seriously. Now he is
a manager, in the branch of construction materials in Canoas City, Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil, city where he also live. Tiago is pilot of Jet
Ski, a modality of radical sport, that challenges the limits and the
concentration power of who practices it.
That adventurous, that said he is crazy, began early
in the world of the radical sports and he can always count with the
incentive of the family for that: "It began with my father, that
always liked radical sports, he got to run of motocross for some time,
when young. Then when my brother was new, my father bought 2 jets, and
that is how everything began. I began when I was 5 years old, in Barra
of Ribeiro, RS. I remember how it was today: my brother took me to walk
in a kawasaki SXI 750, and jumped in the water, I usually, accustomed
to see, as they did, I continued to walk. It was fantastic! My brother
and my father always motivated me a lot. My brother ran of jet of 1994
up to 2001 and he always gave me many tips, trainings and many good
things. Lorenzo Zaluski, friend, also always helped me to workout, with
some clues, tips. We went to the world championship together in 2004
and 2006. The fact that motivated me a lot, and it marked mine beginning,
it was I to have won the championship of Santa Catarina in my first
year, in 2003, and for just a point of difference of the placed second,
the category ski stock. Until today I can't stop. If I am one week without
ride a jet, I stay already crazy, nervous, stressed", says.
And a lack of time to do everything that he wants is
one of the largest challenges to him. Now he divides his time between
the work and the sports, since he is not studying because he intends
to travel to Italy to improve his knowledge in foreign languages. Besides
Jet Ski, he also runs of kart and in the vacations he practices wakeboard
with the friends. The taste for the kart came through the cousins, Christian
and Matheus Castro, and of the uncle, Luís Alberto Ribeiro of
Castro, that always ran of kart and they ended for stimulating Tiago
to run also. He didn't resist and it ended up changing the soil for
the water, which in the winter is a great challenge, but anything that
an appropriate clothes doesn't solve.
Company is what doesn't lack for Tiago: "In the
jet ski I always train racing with my friends Lorenzo Zaluski and Nélio
Azeredo. Already Free Ride with Fábio Teixeira, that is beginning
now in the Jet Ski. The kart always practices with Christian Castro,
and Matheus Castro". He doesn't have anything to complain of the
companies, but of the incentive lack and patronage has, that are the
parts most difficult of the sport. But the good things that he finds
they compensate as, for example, to know new people, different places,
to travel for the world, to win many friends. Unassuming the parents'
incentive, Ademar and Lisete, his brother Ismael, and of the friends
that with him, that end up still stimulating more the sport in the life
of Tiago.
