When I was a child, playing soccer/football has been to me more like a theater workshop than practicing a sport , since me and my friends from the neighborhood enjoyed emulating real World Cup matches.
In spite of being playing at a high level of endurance, our focus was interpreting characters by imitating how players behaved, including the way they ran, , talked and treated the ball.
Hence, playing football at my middle childhood has been the entrance to be interested in studying performing arts on high school, which subsequently took me to consider Performing Arts as a professional career.
