Hello, Greetings.

As you already know me, I am a SWC athlete, and the second member from Zulia to join this community.

I want to clarify many points from my experience and feelings in SWC as an athlete and about the false accusations to our CEO Manuel Ramos.

Starting with a key point, the postings. It is accused that in SWC we are forced to publish a lot of times per week, which seems to me an ABSURD accusation, me, as well as many other athletes, I've started in SWC because I saw it as an opportunity to do something to and for our sport in this country, which is something quite obvious that the sport did not have support here in Venezuela. The standards to publish in SWC are quite normal, me with a 10 hour job, studying, undertaking and training, I still have time to stay pretty active publishing and interacting with my community, because like many athletes, I do it for passion for my sport, to create content and in support of the community that has opened the doors that I thought would never be opened in my sport.

Second, events and resources. Do you know how many resources are involved in an event? Have you even gone to more than one SWC event? What resources are you talking about and which Manuel gets things “without having a job”? We are in the 21st century, many people get money without having a job, and more here in Venezuela. Have you seen what the SWUB 2 was? This event surprised us all, where we as athletes did not have to spend money on transport, food, hotel, or moving inside the city of Maracay. One of their arguments was that in some events they could not mobilize athletes, being me one of those who could not go to the event, but for this reason Joscar and Manuel gave me an explanation and it was something for which we had no problem. They were less than a year in SWC for all these accusations.

Third point, we believe in Manuel Ramos for many reasons, for something we are many who make life in SWC despite they attack us.

Now, since I am not a person who likes to attack others since I think it is absurd wanting to call attention in that way, I will speak from my experience in SWC.

I have received a lot of support from SWC, both in advice on how to publish better, how to improve my writing, editing, etc.. I have earned money with my sport, something that I saw very far away and thanks to SWC was something I achieved. I have received a great value since I belong to this community, from support for when I have not had the courage to train, as opportunities to compete even if I myself do not have the resources to compete, I have met people I never thought I would meet, from all over the country, high level athletes who as I do, we believe in SWC. Recently, as it is no surprise to anyone, Venezuela went through something quite ugly and dangerous, in SWC several athletes were happily surprised to receive support for our food. And now that I have an injury, I have been helped by a physiotherapist member of SWC who has helped me to heal much faster.

I make this comment without anyone forcing me to do so. Being one of the first athletes who has joined the Zulia, to which SWC has supported a lot and has opened many doors, and I do it to defend both my community, and the work we have done and for which we have worked hard and we don't think to lose by defamation, Let's go for more SWC !
