Meet Maria, a 17-year-old kickboxing sensation from Greece who clinched the gold medal in the junior female category at the 2022 World Kickboxing Championships! 🥇🇬🇷
Behind every champion is a great support system, and for Maria, that’s her dad, Michael. By day, Michael is a dedicated dock worker at the bustling Piraeus Port, but by night, he transforms into Maria’s coach, meticulously planning her diet and training sessions. 💪👨👧
Balancing work and coaching isn't easy, but Michael’s unwavering commitment ensures that Maria gets the best preparation for her competitions. Beyond training, he also takes on the challenging task of raising funds to support her kickboxing dreams. 🤝💼
Maria’s success story wouldn’t be complete without the incredible support from Michael’s employer, Piraeus Port Authority (PPA S.A.) – COSCO Shipping. Their assistance has been instrumental in turning the duo’s championship dreams into reality, providing the resources needed for Maria to compete at the highest levels. 🚢✨
This inspiring journey highlights the power of family support and community backing in achieving greatness. Congrats to Maria and Michael for their remarkable achievement! 🌟👏
