Sold the shot… dropped it… beat the defender… finished clean.
Wait for that post sound.
How is it every practice there’s something like this?

I usually post handball clips here to promote the sport I love, to show that experience matters, and that if you put in the work, it makes a difference.

But today is different.

Today I want to share this in memory of a true legend of sports, especially in Brazil but recognized worldwide, Oscar Schmidt.

I had the chance to meet him back in 2012 at the London 2012 Olympics. Like everyone, I recognized him right away. You don’t miss someone like that.

I asked for a picture, and in that moment he asked me something simple:
“Are you in sports too?”

I told him I play handball, and even said it’s not as well known as basketball.

He looked at me and said:
“Handball is the number one sport in schools in Brazil.”

That actually made me stop and think. I had even forgotten that. I started playing handball at 9 years old in school, and then moved up through university and into the high level in Brazil. But it’s true, handball is played in schools all over the country. Almost every school has a court, and there are many competitions. Soccer may be the most popular sport in Brazil, but in schools, handball is the one that’s played. That was a great reminder from him.

That stayed with me. A Hall of Famer, one of the greatest, taking a moment to respect another sport, with real humility.

Years later, while we were working to promote beach handball for the Paris 2024 Olympics, I reached out to him. Without hesitation, he said yes and recorded a video for us. That says everything about who he was.

I’m sharing that video again today.

I’m also sharing a clip from his Hall of Fame speech. He had already been diagnosed with brain cancer at the time, and still delivered one of the most powerful and honest speeches I’ve seen. I’ve shared it privately with close friends before, but now I want to share it here. Some of you may have seen it already, if not, I recommend taking a moment to watch it.

Both videos are in this post.

Thank you for the inspiration, the humility, and the example you set.

Rest in peace.

Good pass, good timing, easy finish. Scoring doesn’t have to be complicated.

Normally this one comes from 12 meters. This time I stepped closer, early in the game, still warming up. The arm felt good, trusted the shot, and it went in against a solid goalie. Respect always to a rival club run by a longtime friend. That’s the game.

Before the crowd reacts.
Wide on the outside.
No rush. No wasted motion.
The defense sets… but it’s already late.
From 12 meters, the shot explodes.
The net moves before the goalie does.
That’s not power alone.
That’s timing, confidence, and control at the highest level.

Some players hesitate from tight angles. Experience teaches you not to. Whether it’s from distance or a short angle, it’s about reading the moment and trusting the work.
When you see it, you take it. Simple as that.

This is how the game is understood.
Short post is taken. Far post is covered.
If the offense beats the block, it’s almost certainly a goal.
That’s why the details matter.
This doesn’t come from a few seasons of playing.
It comes from years at a real high level, where mistakes are punished immediately.

Talking about the game is easy.
Understanding it takes time on the court.

Last practice of the year, but the moment speaks for itself. From distance, clean contact, real power, and absolute precision, right into the top corner. That’s the kind of shot where the goalkeeper has no chance, not because of a mistake, but because of ex*****on. Years of experience show up in moments like this, when everything comes together and there’s simply nothing more to be done.
