My autobiography

I'm Matías and I was born in Santiago on April 8th, 1995.
I studied in the Alonso de Ercilla Institute between 2003 and 2014. After  take the PSU, the points that I obtain lets me enter to study psychology the Faculty of Social Science at Universidad de Chile. Actually I'm in fourth year and I would like to work in sports psychology.

About my family, I can tell you that we are a small family. I live with my mom near Santa Isabel subway station (in case you want to visit me <3). I have a sister and she is 31. Now she's living with us because she broke with her boyfriend recently and she's very sad, she need's family love and I with my mum give her a lot of them. My dad lives in Ecuador five years ago. He traveled for job.

One thing that I like to do is go to the gym to work in by body. Is an important thing for me because I like to think that I have it's control. I like the sensation that you feel after finish a good training session too. Not always I can feel that but always try to do my best.
I enjoy to read about sports psychology, motivation and other books that relate about it. Recently I read this list of books:

  1. "Everything can be trained" (Toni Nadal)
  2. "Leadership" (Alex Ferguson)
  3. "Open" (Andre Agassi)
  4. "Del Potro's Miracle" (Sebastian Torok)
  5. "Shoe Dog" (Autobiography for the Nike creator, Phil Knight)
  6. "Rafa, my history" (Rafael Nadal)

Smartphone, my favorite piece of technology!

When I was 18 I had a very slow and no very functional phone and I decide to change that for other more technologier. I enter to a " black market " group on Facebook and I bought a new one: my (now) very old and useded iPhone 6. In that time I spent a lot of money to bought it and when I payed could feel a pain on my heart (on my wallet too), whatever that was a very good inversion because now I sill have the same phone. This is my favorite piece of technology because I can do a lot of things with it: check u-cursos platform for the marks and the new jobs about the carrer, follow interesting and valuable content on Facebook and Instagram about very interesting topics, I can do jobs and work on my comunity projects when I'm in the public transport, and I can listen my favorite music on Spotify :P

My professional decison!

I choose psychology because is the only way to continue link to sports, tennis especially. Kinesiology, nutritionist and fitness teacher were alternatives that I evaluated in the past, but I think "A lot of people is working in kinesiology, and the same with nutrition and fitness teacher, but sports psychology is not very developed in Chile". For that I would like to work is sports psychology, to help sportsman to manage their best performance in the courts, rings, etc.  Changing the topic, m y experience at the university until now was strange, because I'm very different to the other FACSO guys. They like to go to party, drink alcohol, smoke tabaco and weed, and listen to music very hard. The sport on Faculty isn't an important think.  But I like to sleep early, take care of my body, I don't drink and smoke drugs, and I don't like listen to music hard. I think that is a altethe's life. See you soon <3

Hey. I see you in my blog! This photography was taken on 2012, in the fifth court for the Club Sirio Unido. I don´t remember who take it but was when Nico and me finish the training session. Two intensitive tennis hours  following the Horacio De La Peña instructions. The third person you can see was my sport psychologist in that time, called Rodrigo Cortés. The photo was taken because Rodrigo needed it for his tesis document. He was doing his practice in the academy. In the moment I wasn't very emocionated with the photo, but now I would have a better attitude. At that time, I didn't know how important that situation was in my life. Right now I'm retired for the high tennis competition. The sport is good option to have a healthy life, but not a very good idea if you wanna got a high prize money. Whatever, good experiencie.
