Was a day like any other, but on that day, I made the first significant decision in my life. On that day, I decided that I had to do something more for myself and for them.
I didn't have a clear idea of what I was going to do, and honestly, if someone had asked me, I would have said that, as a sport, I would prefer volleyball—a crazy Misionero (person from Misiones, Argentina).

There are three things that have accompanied me throughout my entire career, three simple things that, for me, are fundamental.

2:25-3:00
Having a clear goal, humility, and discipline. Clear objectives, humility, and discipline. On that rainy day, I focused on my objective. As I mentioned, I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to do, but I was determined to try and do the possible or the impossible to forge a different future.

Comments
un misionero bárbaro- a crazy Misionero (person from Misiones, Argentina).
"I use 'borrowing' in this word 'misionero' since it focuses on explaining and representing the place from which the speaker is."

Compensation. This is a technique that is used when something cannot be translated and the lost meaning is translated by compensating it somewhere else in the statement to make it make sense.
From my perspective, I have two clearer options for this sentence. One of these would be to divide it into two, providing a literal translation since it practically has the same number. At the same time, I used an omission to avoid redundancy in the sentence.
el 99% de los chicos que intentaban ser pro en le futbol fracasaban - 99% of the kids who tried to become professionals in football failed."
The translation used in this case was literal translation because it provides the main objectives in a straightforward manner wich are Preservation of Terminology, Clarity and Consistency
