“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll be N1!” is world champion Gianmaria Coccoluto’s kickass story of conquering the top of the kiteboarding world. Inspiring with unrivalled self-belief and commitment towards transforming dreams into reality.
As an 18-year-old, Gianmaria abandoned his professional sailing career to take up kiteboarding, realising his talent and finding joy in progression. Making a bold move, he relocated to Sicily without informing anyone and embarked on a long journey towards becoming a world champion. With not opting for the easy path, his relentlessness led him to choose alternate, more challenging routes.
With his cheeky pledge towards his father, Gianmaria urges us to alleviate our parents‘ worries by pursuing our dreams despite unfavourable 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!
