Why Do We Only See the Big Moments? | Miguel Monteiro | TEDxAveiro
In this TEDxAveiro talk, Miguel Monteiro, a shot put athlete (F40 class) and Paralympic champion at the 2024 Paralympic Games, looks at the work that comes before the big moments in sport. Drawing on his preparation for the Paralympics, he describes the hundreds of hours of training, routine and sacrifice that are rarely visible. He also reflects on identity and recognition in a society that tends to focus only on the final result.
