Tiziano Frías (Carpintería Basketball): "Antes tiraba a un tacho de una plaza porque desde siempre quería jugar al básquet"

The story of Tiziano Frías is a true testament to the adage that if you really want something, you will find a way to get it no matter the challenges. The 25-year-old basketball player from Carpintería, Argentina, had always wanted to play the sport but didn’t have access to proper equipment. So, he resorted to shooting hoops into a garbage can in a local park.

Eventually, Frías’ talent caught the attention of a coach who invited him to join a local club team. Despite the initial setback of not having a shoe size that fit, Frías persevered and eventually became a standout player. He credits his humble beginnings for the drive and determination he has on the court today.

Frías’ story is inspiring and serves as a reminder that success is attainable through hard work and dedication. It also highlights the importance of providing access to sports and other recreational activities to underserved communities. Tiziano’s success story should serve as a motivation to underprivileged children worldwide who aspire to achieve their dreams but get discouraged due to lack of resources or opportunities.
