00:00Hello, I'm Dumont, Santos Dumont Guimarães Júnior, Guto Miguel's coach.
00:04He has just been crowned champion of Valanga Rose and is currently ranked number 1 in the world.
00:09Guto started with us three and a half, four years ago.
00:13We had already been talking to his father, and his father had already been talking to Kiki.
00:18Kiki is Guto's other coach, and he's also part of the team.
00:21And his father came to me, had a meeting with me, to see if we could receive him, and we received Guto.
00:28And we began a project.
00:31A curious fact: Guto, as everyone knows, was a bit chubby, smelled better, and was lazy.
00:37He worked very little back then.
00:40Out of 5 days a week, he worked one and a half days; the rest of the time he just lazed around.
00:45And I think the best outcome of the work was that Guto enjoyed working and evolving this process.
00:52So I think the most important thing is for him to learn how to train.
00:55It's not easy, but learning to improve training volume, physical fitness, and proper nutrition is key.
01:02It's all a process.
01:04So I think everything that has happened so far is the result of a lot of hard work, a lot of travel, frustrations, and victories.
01:17And always strive to surpass yourself.
01:20Last year, we had a very big achievement at the end of the year with Guto.
01:25We went to play a tournament in Mexico, in Guadalajara, where he was supposed to be among the top 10 in the world.
01:30to win the wild cards for the challengers.
01:32And in the first tournament, Guto played three extremely tough three-hour matches.
01:40And damn, I couldn't play tennis, I was mentally exhausted.
01:45And then there was a game he lost in the semi-finals, he was down 6-0, 3-0.
01:50A guy who, theoretically, shouldn't have lost there.
01:55He tried, but ended up losing 7-6 in the tie-break.
01:58But I think it's over, I said, man, you're not in a position to be here.
02:01You're not in a condition to do this, we have to leave, your mental state is...
02:05Then he said, "Give me some time, I'm going to talk to the psychologist, to my father, we'll see."
02:09He came up to me and said, "We're going to stay, we're going to play, we're going to win."
02:15Are you with me?
02:16I told you, I'm always with you.
02:17Come on, come on.
02:18What happened?
02:19He was the champion.
02:21And in the end he said, you didn't even celebrate.
02:23I told you, man, I was so emotionally exhausted by you.
02:26I wasn't able to celebrate as much as I should have.
02:29But you're a champion and you achieved it.
02:32So Guto is very much like that.
02:33So I think that's a fact that has attracted a lot of attention along our long journey.
02:40And now it has come to a head.
02:41I wasn't there; I've been present for 7 major lighting events, but not this one.
02:45I think I prepared, we prepared Kik, the whole team,
02:49physical trainer, Marcelo Prata, Henrique, the nutritionist,
02:52the nutritionist, Fernando, the physiotherapist, Pedro, the psychologist,
02:56We, all of us, work very well.
02:58For Guto to have achieved what he has achieved.
03:01But we don't want to get to that point, we want more.
03:04So this is the beginning of a long road.
03:06that we were often doubted,
03:10But we will work harder and harder to prove that we can do it.
03:14Because we're going to achieve that.
03:16Let's go!
