i’m still learning

i met an amazing person this weekend, emanuel rego, one of the winningiest beach-volleyball players in the history of sports. i asked him for an interview after he had battled through and won the grand slam tournament in klagenfurt. he turned out not only to be a good interview partner, but an insight- and thoughtful person. we went far beyond a normal interview, he telling me about his son, his girlfriend, god. the portrait i wrote of him was published today. i’ve written some hundred articles in my life, but this one i will remember for a long time, as much as i will remember the “silent warrior”, the way i described rego – and his message “i’m still learning”

i believe.
