Basketball playing and scoring with God

Rodrigo

I am very grateful to God for giving me a talent for playing basketball. The games are very tiring, but before they start I always pray to know that God keeps me safe. Because I trust in Him, I've felt God protecting me many times.

Three years ago, when I was nine, I learned how to play at a basketball school in Diadema, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Later I passed a test to be trained at the Paulistano Club, in the city of São Paulo. There I sharpened my skills. I had classes three times a week, and I played on Sundays. The club paid for my round-trip transportation, which, for me, was also a proof of God's love, because my family no longer had that expense.

At the beginning of last year, Paulistano no longer put together a team in my category in São Paulo. But soon after, I had the opportunity to train at the lbirapuera Club, where I still play. They also sponsor my transportation for the practices and the games.
