Girl Starts Fitness at 7, Wins Championship with Adults at 14, Once Resented Father
Everyone has probably experienced this: under the ideology of 'dragon and phoenix' – where parents want their children to be the pride of the family – children are encouraged to study diligently, practice musical instruments, and receive the most professional dance training. However, as children, they often yearn for carefree childhoods. When these two desires clash, the latter is often relegated to a mere wish. Just like the little influencer that the editor would like to introduce to you today, she began to be rigorously trained by her father from a very young age, and she once 'resented' her father for it.
Her name is Thaissa Fit from Brazil, and she is currently 15 years old, yet possesses maturity, composure, and confidence that many teenagers of the same age lack. Thaissa's father is a bodybuilder, and he hoped that his daughter would become a star in the fitness world, so when she was 7 years old, he began to conduct professional and fitness training for her. Although she was only 7 years old at the time, her father did not slack off because of her age.
At that time, she didn't like those fitness movements and didn't want to 'waste' her time outside of school in the gym. Her dislike was overcome by her father's strictness, and she could only grit her teeth to persevere. In reality, she was very resentful of her father, because she didn't understand why she had to do things that other children didn't do, and she also wanted to play freely. Even though her father said, 'You will understand the significance of what you are doing now in the future,' she still couldn't understand it at that time.
Her father created a very detailed training plan for her, and she would conduct five training sessions every week, with three of them focused on leg and glute training, and the remaining two sessions were arranged by her father for upper body training. Such training intensity would likely be difficult for a beginner adult to persevere, but as a 7-year-old girl, she persevered!
At the age of 14, at her father's suggestion, she appeared on a professional bodybuilding stage and competed with adults. This is truly a bold idea. And at that bodybuilding stage in Florida, she defeated all competitors and became the champion, which was her first time winning a professional bodybuilding competition.
She and her father
When the judges announced the results of the competition and informed the audience that she was only 14 years old, the entire arena erupted in cheers, including professional athletes who were all shouting her name. At that moment, she tearfully embraced her father and expressed her gratitude for everything he had done for her. After the competition, facing her 600,000 fans, Thaissa said, 'I'm very excited now, but I need to calm down. I'm going to continue to train my muscles and prepare with my father for the Brazilian competition. I feel his love, do you?'
