00:00.000 --> 00:01.967
(soft music)

00:01.967 --> 00:03.033
- Focus.

00:03.033 --> 00:05.783
(dramatic music)

00:06.880 --> 00:08.323
Determination.

00:13.480 --> 00:14.313
Discipline.

00:18.410 --> 00:21.693
Training can be very physically demanding

00:21.693 --> 00:25.249
when the real challenge comes from within.

00:25.249 --> 00:26.899
(ocean rippling)

00:26.899 --> 00:28.750
(soft inspirational music)

00:28.750 --> 00:31.653
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

00:46.500 --> 00:51.500
The Judo discipline it
was crucial for my growth

00:53.050 --> 00:56.354
as a person and I
believe that counts a lot

00:56.354 --> 01:00.083
for myself as an officer.

01:01.000 --> 01:04.030
You have the discipline,
you have the determination,

01:04.030 --> 01:07.680
you have the focus, you
have all those qualities

01:07.680 --> 01:12.218
that keep you straight in line

01:12.218 --> 01:15.121
and to understand what you need to do

01:15.121 --> 01:17.283
to complete the mission.

01:25.980 --> 01:27.356
(dramatic music)

01:27.356 --> 01:29.773
(body thuds)

01:34.820 --> 01:36.824
This is just another opportunity for me

01:36.824 --> 01:39.693
to not only represent
the country and represent

01:39.693 --> 01:44.693
the Coast Guard, but I
also should push myself

01:44.820 --> 01:47.740
and test myself and make sure

01:47.740 --> 01:52.270
that I still do that what is needed

01:52.270 --> 01:53.593
to compete in that level.

01:57.320 --> 02:01.330
The preparation intensified,
my focus is more towards

02:01.330 --> 02:05.410
the competition and the training's harder

02:07.440 --> 02:08.273
and I'm ready.
