Sports prodigies

In a healthy way, thousands of child prodigies adhere to the trend of participating in some form of sport. Practice should always be done in a balanced and supervised way, remembering that sport is synonymous with fun, not obligation.

Starting between four and six years of age, the practice can offer several benefits, such as the development of new friendships, physical and mental care, control of situations and the creation of good habits.

João started practicing on Handbike in November 2016, with only 12 years old. Not being old enough to participate in championships, he participates in races and half marathons with distances from 5 to 21kms!!

Yan Sondahl

The boy's talent and skills with the board have been monitored and compared with great surfers.

At just 12 years old, Yan Sondahl from Santa Catarina was already a big fan of skateboarding. Because he had no clues in his city, he ended up stopping his training.

From then on, Yan fell in love with the water, and soon after, with surfing. His parents saw his talent and began to follow the little athlete.

He conquered his space in this world, making great friends like Gabriel Medina and even the singer Jack Johnson. Yan dreams of becoming world surfing champion? and by the looks of it, it won't take long with so much talent.

His main activities are present on his personal or father's Instagram. The boy has a program on the WooHoo channel, where he tells all his adventures, whether at sea or on land. Check it out!!
