Hockey, for me, is all about friendship and union
because in the field we play for ourselves and for our partners.
My name is Camila Lemos. I'm a defender at the Carioca Hockey Club
Since I was a child I was always a very agitated person
I can't stay still. I always find something to do.
I practise four times a week
We are already talking to each other on the go
so we know who is going, who is not and who is late.
The 2007 Pan American Games were hosted here in Rio
and a friend was working at the hostel where the Brazilian team was staying.
She then decided to create a team here in Rio
I fell in love for the sport and said:
I want to play hockey no matter what!
As hockey is an almost unknown sport here
we are all friends, relatives, cousins
We are very close to each other.

I'm studying Actuarial Science.
I'm a third year student
Right now I'm enjoying all the opportunities hockey is offering me
One day I'll need to get an internship
and I will not be able to play as often as I'd like.
But quitting hockey is not an option
I support Flamengo
with all my heart.
We have a group just for that.
So we call each other before the matches.
I want to practise hockey as long as possible
And I am going to do it for the rest of my life.
