Santiago Morejon

My Testimony

My name is Santiago. I am 16 years old and I am a national soccer player from Switzerland at Lausanne Sport.
Six months ago, I was injured for 3 months and I couldn’t play soccer. I felt like I had to face my own pain alone. I had the feeling that I lost my identity. I’ve played soccer my whole life and suddenly I got severely injured. It was really difficult for me to accept that injury. I felt a lot of frustration because I couldn’t play with the national team, so I did not want to hang out with my friends or even see people. It was a hard period for me and for my family I guess.

So my mother put me in contact with Rodolfo, and our first call lasted an hour and a half. He helped me to see soccer as something important in my life, but not what defines my identity. He made me understand that whatever happens in my professional life or personal goals should not define or modify who I truly am, I am Santiago, a son of God. It helped me a lot because I could find peace in all my troubles. That call changed my life. I could enjoy the moment even if my professional life was not going in the direction and speed that I wanted it to go. Because the time of the Lord is perfect, my only preoccupation is to do the will of God.
I’m a christian, so I could talk with Rodolfo about my faith and about the words of God. I can only encourage all athletes to seek God. And with the big help of Rodolfo, I could find peace in the words of God. He prayed for me, he had the ability to establish a spiritual atmosphere.

Rodolfo taught me a lot of things, and one of those things which I also try to teach to my friends is about that the human is composed of the Body, the Soul and the Spirit. And the Soul has 3 parts: The Mind, The Emotion, The Will. And those things cannot be seen from the outside. He taught me that if you work on what is inside you instead of paying attention to the outside, you will be unstoppable: Working your mental, trying to feed your brain with positivity everyday, trying to discipline your brain everyday, working your emotions, trying to not let your emotions take the control of your actions. And always do the will of God. This routine, this new lifestyle, which Rodolfo shared with me, has changed my perception of life.

I am very thankful to Rodolfo for his time, his patience and his teaching. And I highly recommend every single athlete or person in general, going through uncertain times, to take the time and reach out to Rodolfo. He will certainly help you transform those challenges into strength and growth in your life.
