Footbag World Championship for the first time in Medellin (ENG | SPN)
After a long time | Despues de mucho tiempo
The truth is that I have been extremely busy between classes and work but that is not really important. The reality is that this is more a matter of personal emotion than a high quality post.
I want to tell you a quick mini anecdote, one that some readers may have already read.
Hola a todos queridos Hivers despues de mucho tiempo.
La verdad he estado sumamente ocupado entre las clases y el trabajo pero eso no es lo realmente importante. La realidad es que esto es mas un asunto de emoción personal que un post de categoria o de suma calidad.
Quiero contarles una mini anecdota rapida, una que posiblemente alguno que otro lector ya habrá leido.
About five years ago I started practicing a sport that changed my life (maybe another time I will talk about it). Thanks to this I met many people who have become an important part of my life, acquaintances with whom I share a passion for a sporting activity, training partners, teachers, and now friends and part of a team.
Much water has flowed under the bridge, we decided to take the task of trying to give a greater visualization to our sport and our passion through social networks to encourage people to practice it because we believe it is a very complete sport discipline and at the same time little known.
We adopted the name CCS Footbag in honor of the city in which we live and which has been our training and sharing field.
Hace ya unos cinco años comencé a practicar un deporte que cambió mi vida (Quizás en otra ocasión vuelva a hablar de ello). Gracias a esto conocí a muchas personas que se han vuelto parte importante de mi vida, conocidos con los que comparto una afición por una actividad deportiva, compañeros de entrenamiento, maestros, y ahora amigos y parte de un equipo.
Mucha agua ha corrido bajo el puente, decidimos tomarnos la tarea de intentar darle una mayor visualización a nuestro deporte y nuestra pasión mediante las redes sociales para que más personas se animen a practicarlo pues creemos que es una disciplina deportiva muy completa y a la vez poco conocida.
Adoptamos el nombre de CCS Footbag en honor a la ciudad en la que hacemos vida y la que ha sido nuestro campo de entrenamiento y de compartir.
Footbag World Championship in Medellin | Campeonato Mundial de Footbag en medellin
Earlier this year, specifically in January, it was announced to our surprise the first Footbag World Championship in Latin America, normally this event is held in Europe, USA and Canada but this year many of us who have never played a tournament of this caliber will have the opportunity to participate and represent Venezuela in this great discipline.
I want to show you this video made by me that I will soon be sharing on CCSFootbag's IG account about our trip to Medellin, a sample of all the work and training we have been doing.
I am very excited and nervous at the same time, but I want to prove to myself how much I have improved as a person and as an athlete as a result of this sport. I have been all this year focused on my training to be a good role and this same month of July will be held the competition in 26 to 30 of that month. Medellin there we go soon if the universe wills it. I hope to be able to share with you this next experience, greetings to whoever is reading me and I hope we can read each other again soon.
A principios de este presente año, concretamente en enero se anunció para nuestra sorpresa el primer Campeonato Mundial de Footbag en Latinoamérica, normalmente este evento se lleva a cabo en Europa, EEUU y Canadá pero este año muchos de nosotros que jamás hemos disputado un torneo de este calibre tendremos la oportunidad de participar y representar a Venezuela en esta gran disciplina.
Quiero mostrarles este video hecho por mí que proximamente estaré compartiendo en la cuenta de IG de CCSFootbag con motivos de nuestro viaje a Medellin, una muestra de todo el trabajo y entrenamiento que hemos estado realizando.
Yo en lo particular estoy muy emocionado y a la vez nervioso, pero quiero demostrarme a mí mismo todo lo que he mejorado como persona y como deportista a raíz de este deporte. He estado durante todo este año enfocado en mi entrenamiento para a ser un buen papel y este mismo mes de julio se llevará a cabo la competencia en 26 hasta el 30 de dicho mes. Medellín allá vamos pronto si el universo lo quiere. Espero poder compartir con ustedes esta proxima experiencia, un saludo a quien me este leyendo y ojalá podamos leernos pronto nuevamente.

This looks similar to a sport known as Sepak Takraw that is played by people in South East Asia like Malaysia and Indonesia. Very interesting sports that requires alot of agility.

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes both sports are very similar, in fact some guys from South Korea (who also play Sepak and are connoisseurs of Footbag) sent us a Sepak ball years ago. It was a great gift.
They are very similar sports although with some differences, for example: in Sepak you can use other parts of your body like head, knee and feet, in footbag you can only use your feet, among some other small differences. Both sports are great, if one day I have the chance to travel to Asia I would love to see a Sepak match live.
