During his distinguished career, he broke many records in Formula One racing.

He was twice named the sportsman of the year and is the second richest sportsman of all time and nations, second only to basketball player Michael Jordan.

But important is not his wealth and not even records, Schumacher has become a symbol of the desire for a goal, a symbol of speed. Focused on his business, he reached the heights of skill. It’s inspiring.

Looking at Michael, I want to become the best in my business. Schumacher is a good example for teenagers, he shows what can be achieved if you try, work and improve yourself.

My favorite sportsman is Lionel messi. He is an Argentinean footballer, who currently plays for the Barcelona and Argentine national team. He was born on June 24th 1987, in Rosario - a large city in central Argentine. His father was a factory worker, and his mum was a part-time cleaner. His father was the one to detect Lionel’s talent. He began playing football for the local team when he was only five. Later he played for the local youth team, which lost only one game during the next four years. At the age of 11 he was diagnosed with a serious disease, which required lots of money for treatment. The local team was unwilling to pay for his treatment. But soon the sporting director of Barcelona showed interest in his talent and Messi moved to Spain. During his debut game for Barcelona he became the youngest player to break the record and to score the first goal in a league game. This was his breakthrough. All the seasons that followed after this game were rather successful for young Messi. His short stature, speed and relentless attacking style were compared with other world-famous Argentinean player - Diego Maradona. It was Lionel Messi who consequently brought success and fame to Barcelona team. At the age of 21 he received his first FIFA World Player of the Year nomination. He is also the holder of an Olympic gold medal and many other international awards. In my opinion, his talent, courage and strong-willed character are worth admiring.
