EPISODE   24  IS   OUT   NOW

Today marks the premiere of the twenty-fourth episode of the “Write Your Own Chapter” video series. “Don‘t worry, Dad, I‘ll be number one” features world champion Gianmaria Coccoluto and narrates the story of how self-belief and commitment can transform dreams into reality.

Few are aware that Gianmaria started his journey as a professional sailor and only took up kiting at the age of 18. The realization of his talent in kiteboarding and the joy of progression became a pivotal moment. Making a bold move, he abandoned sailing, relocated to Sicily without informing anyone, and embarked on a long journey towards becoming a world champion. While the easy path was an option, Gianmaria‘s relentlessness led him to choose the alternate, more challenging route.

“Don‘t worry, Dad, I‘ll be number one” transcends the cheeky response of a teenager to his father; it symbolizes Gianmaria’s unwavering self-belief from the early stages to the GKA World Cup final in Brazil 2022. This phrase is meant to inspire us to pursue our dreams despite unfavorable odds. Similar to crafting proper Sicilian pasta, the mix is crucial – hard work, commitment, and sacrifice form a good recipe to bring you closer to your goals and eventually alleviate your parents‘ worries.
