 
There is nothing sweeter than the sweet smell of success. Such is the Story of Our Goan Swimmer Xavier Michael D’souza. During the different stages of a swimmer’s career the un chosen favourite fragrance ever so close to every swimmers body is Chlorine. But Success in Swimming has its very own sweetness and unique fragrance that only successful and champion swimmers can get to know.
Every successful swimmer understands that as in every individual sport the object is to rise above the hurdles & BELIEVE that there are no limitations. Every Ace swimmer like Xavier yearns for success.
For becoming a successful swimmer Xavier M. D’souza has to work out the whole calendar year for one consecutive competitive exam. Qualifying and making a mark for the nationals at the age group Indian Nationals.
Desiring to always be acing in life......
Xavier M. D’souza works out, exercises, swims throughout the whole calendar year. Swimming being an individual sport, the dedication and devotion to the sport of swimming is phenomenal. Xavier wakes up at 05.30 am. Has a quick Bite. Starts swimming practice early morning at 06.00am. Finishes Swimming practice by 08.00 am. . Has homemade breakfast, unwinds and gets ready again at 03.00 pm for daily rigorous swimming practice. Either the Swimming Coach or the Fitness Trainer takes over. Finishes at 08.00 to 09.00 pm. Gets back home tired. Has his free leisure time. Then after dinner, plays with his Video games and then goes off to bed.
There is no time for a personal life. Xavier M D’souza sees swimming workouts as a day at the Office and Competitions as an Exam which he desperately needs to Ace in order to get a promotion in life.
A Father’s Prayer...............
My Swimming Son. The Victory Podium is only enough for three, so you must strive not to be behind; Bronze is fine, but Gold is always divine.
So continue swimming, help and sponsorship will come, keep the speed going, there’s no time to lose, there is no time to spare and my son you may be sure, as a loving father, I will do my share. |
