Andre Galvao Pens Emotional Message To His Daughter: “Being An Athlete’s Father…”

Andre Galvao Pens Emotional Message To His Daughter: “Being An Athlete’s Father…”

There’s no love that comes close to the love a parent feels for his/her child… And Andre Galvao knows that well.

His daughter, Sarah Galvao, is an elite BJJ blue belt competitor.
And, needless to say, Andre understands how difficult it is for Sarah to go through some of the things he’s had to go through too:

I learned that being an athlete’s father is just that, it’s a roller coaster of emotions.

It’s seeing you on the floor and having to let you get up alone. It’s seeing you in pain and knowing that tomorrow there’s more.

It’s sometimes seeing you sad and not being able to soften your sadness in words. It’s living feeling your frustrations and having to let you face everything. If I could, I would get them for myself.

In his heartfelt message, Andre expresses the love and admiration for his daughter’s success:

Today, here, thinking about everything, I look at your smile and see that same tiny babe in my arm, I feel that love, it’s as if time stopped, there were only the two of us.

You did it! I would do it all over again, and again because it was never for the titles it was always for that smile.
Today we dance, smile and everyone can see and feel a little of what it’s like to be the father of a champion athlete.
