Fifi is an incredible athlete, I just hope she doesn't burn out. I loved hearing she enjoys spending time with her friends when she plays.
Every video on social media is this kid can go pro. Let them grow up first.
Yeah she’s amazing at sports but you don’t want her to get burnt out or feel like she HAS to do this. Whatever she wants to do, she should do it.
Let them grow up to what age according to you? Many children need someone to care . Y create a problem where none is
Omg I so agree she can do it all, but this kid needs a life as a kid. I do hope she does go Por when the time is right. I fear a burn out is inevitable. I wish her well in all her endeavours.
It’s her choice if she wants to do this or not and she clearly got herself into these sports,also if she wants to make it pro which she does she will have to practice at a young age.
I hope she truly loves sports and continues to do so. She’s such a gifted and hardworking kid. Make sure to stay safe and stay happy!
She is amazingly driven. I do not like the title "12- year old freak". There is nothing freaky about her. You Rock Ms. Fifi, continue being you.
Same. I'm sharing it but with the same comment.
FIFI is a BEAST!! Keep working hard!
YES SHE IS!!
i know people think this is amazing, but. all i can think about is how her parents have forced her to do three tiring activities her entire life. even if she likes these sports, at the level she's at at such a young age, she clearly hasn't had any time to do anything else but train which is going to take effect on her growing young body and mind.
But some kids love to train maybe she’s just one of them who wants it more than others I’m sure she would complain if she didn’t want to do certain sports
It’s all her decision? Plus if she fall out of love in one sport she has two more
@@mackenziestocadude what this person is saying isn't even about falling out of love you totally just read simply just to respond and not to listen
Kids have dreams let them chase them. My kid played basketball. We played aau n HS ball n juco. She stayed out of trouble had amazing grades. My kid graduated with bachelor degree last yr. She starts her doctorate school in Aug. She said she was going to do it and succeed. Sports got her thru life. It was a fun ride turned down 5 d1 scholarships. Dr in two yrs in PT.
I would love to know what her grades are like
This is lowkey tragic. Her family’s belief is that they won’t be happy unless they’re good at what they’re doing. Performance based mindsets like that literally kill kids when they fail…and they WILL fail. It’s how you grow. Of all the things you could pray for your kid…let her be fast? Sheesh.
"Freak" Was there not a better word you could use? Super, powerful, unbelievable, amazing. ....
That word is the only reason I clicked on this video. Horrible choice of words.
Wow how amazing! I’m just like her, have been playing soccer since 4 yrs old and play every sport you can imagine! It would be a dream of mine to be in one of these videos!
One name: Todd Marinovich. He was raised from birth to be the ultimate athlete... and he actually made it to the NFL... But his jacked up childhood (that never allowed him to be a kid) made it all come crashing down. Also, children who have too much physical stress (mileage) put on their bodies as they are developing are much more prone to injuries later (see: Lonzo Ball). These parents may mean well, but they're probably making a mistake. But at least NIL makes it possible for her to make substantial money in college if she excels and gains a following in a particular sport in her late teens/early 20's if her body is subject to breakdown early. I truly wish her the best.
Good examples! So now girls have more opportunities…to fight off obsessive sports parents.
Absolutely iconic!!! Go fifi go
🐐
The cartwheel! 😂❤️🔥❤️🔥Go babygirl! Have Fun!!
🙌🙌
Wow this is amazing Fifi! Keep working hard🎉💪
🙌
That the series is called "no days off" is both very apt, and a bit sad, in that kids SHOULD have "days off", to just be kids- unstructured time.
Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾keep up the good work.
Yes Fi!!!! Proud of you!
👏🔥
She is so young and talented❤️
Not shocked she’s from California
I hope she’s truly happy. I know that can be a lot of pressure
Love this!!!! 😊
what a legend!!!!! up next!!!
Some kids genuinely enjoy competition and hard work. And keep in mind these sports usually happen in different seasons. Some parents force and some support. These parents seem supportive
love her determination!
She's LOCKED IN
she's a champion from the day she was born!!! Her parents should be super proud of her
Amazing!!🤩🤩
Ooo I remember her from ODP. she’s absolutely a beast she can score almost anywhere
OMG COACH TONYYYY !!
Thats what I call an athlete!
I just hope she actually enjoys this
i hope she can pass adolescence and still be great at the sports and not get any big injurie
Get it girl 🤎🫶🏽
🦾🦾
I’m literally watching her play rnnnnnnn🫢🫢🫢
this is epic 👏
🙌
Long Beach sprinters are a legit track team
Love her
If you see this-You seemed extra great at soccer. I might be biased but either way, you’re a great athlete. Good luck to you and stay true to yourself!
So much potential... She could be the next RBG for all we know
THATS MY FRIEND!!!
Her and Giovanna Waksman ( Brazilian payer) are the future of women's soccer and sports in general
🙌
FIFI!
FIFI 🔥🔥‼️
MY BSF WENT AGAINST HER IN SOCCER
Did she win
❤
That’s how you do it
It's good that she is still doing multiple sports at an early age. But at some point, she will have to commit to one sport.
I play all three of these sports, and have been offered scholarships to private schools such as bolles for softball and track , I'm a city championship for running a 1:01 on a 400 as a 6th grader. Just because you play sports doesn't mean you're going to go pro in all three sports
Everyone of these videos makes me feel like i have done nothing in my life
Yeah, she seems super stoked. Or not.
So the guy said she has something pro women soccer players don’t have? Did I hear that correctly?
I think he was saying that she possesses athleticism and skill at a top level and not all players have that or currently have that.
My son was a collegiate, youth national teams and professional soccer player, so I am an ultimate soccer mom. 😀 The coach was referencing that US soccer players, male and female, most of the time do not have the highest level of touch on the soccer ball that players from European, Latin and Africa countries have. That is because the US did not compete in soccer until the early part of the 1900s, but in the other continents soccer has been played for centuries. So we compensate with speed and athleticism.
Why use a word like "freak"?
Yessssirrrr
💯💯
👏👏👏👏
These no days off with sports for these young altheletes, is puttiing miles on their body un nesscary and by the time she goes college , that miliage and injuries will start to kick in. Also its parents training kids and when some. Parents see that potential, they see $$$, free stuff , free sxhool and all that . Its all good but when they go pro, their body will be crazy burnt out , that chicago bull ball player comes to mind .
Yes black queen in the making❤❤❤
If I had money I would be good too
Doubt it Spencer 😂
I get weird vibes from mom. thats such a bad mindset that you won’t be happy unless you're good at what you're doing. I hope that in the future, if she makes some mistakes, she won't be let down by her mom's misconstrued beliefs
Better pray this young athlete doesn’t have a catastrophic injury that cuts her dreams short because her entire identity revolves around her athletic abilities. Without sports, who would she be????
my top sports are basketball, bowling, billiards, and walking,,,so she is more athletic than me,,,
FIFI THE GOAT
And that what it takes to
Put v7skills on whistle
Bro she ain’t ronaldihno she ronaldihna 😂
I feel bad for this child, and anyone else that has to jump through hoops for their parents. It’s the other way around parents support the child.
sheesh i can barely play one sport lol
Why freak? I hate that title. She is a prodigy!
Her skeletal system is in jeopardy….Rest.
No one commenting here knows anything about this girl and her family. Stop assuming there's something wrong. Some kids just have this kind of drive.
I think it's great that she's doing all of this but pressure on her just remember she's a kid I would ask her if she wants to do all of this if she wants to stick with 1 or 2I just think parents need to learn That their kid is not a adult Just because they're great at something doesn't mean they're great at everything but she clearly is so if she wants to do all of this
The first thing they prayed for was let her be fast. 😢
What soccer team is she from
So Cal Blues
Ok thank you
Nice she’s the best 2011 team in the country
Yup exactly. @@emma.andree
Dont get me wrong, she has the skill and athleticism to go pro in all three but she wants to go pro in all three and she has to realize that she just can’t because if your on a team you should be committed and show up so even if your good but don’t play in a game or run in a meet then your letting your teammates and coaches down
NDOOO
W vids
🙌
@whistlesports
Thanks
And if she were to have an injury that meant she couldn't do sport??? Would her parents value her for being herself? Would Fifi feel she has value from her parents??? This intense focus on her physical abilities is scary in terms of her mental and emotional development 😔
she should be like Salma Paralluelo and ditch track for soccer and win the Women's World Cup Young Player Award
Freak??? Really but whatever I don’t have the energy today
W videos
🙌🙌
😂 burnout will be a real nice one buddy
i’m an athlete too. I play five sports and I play all of them travel and why am i not getting a documentary? because i’m not a girl it’s simple. If i played softball as a 12yr old i would already have offers from oklahoma.
fr like im the same age as her its not fair people in other countries (like me) deserve a chance .in america they have more chances with sports Im fast i cant even join a track team barely none where i live and i love gymnastics i am the best at it but to much money now i am home trained and no hate but there is people that are youger where i live and are better than her and younger on a higher level than her why cant we all be on telivision stop flexing one child :)
Anyone noticed how the parents they what was their plan? But what about her?
im not tryna be rude and this girl is amazing but the hair for the magazine 💀no hate
You don’t say that to the best soccer player, track star, and softball player!
🔥🔥🔥
Whatever
Way too much pressure on her! She’s gonna burn out and not play or enjoy ANYTHING!!!! Poor kid.
Too much pressure for a kid
why she calls football - sucker?
In America most of us call it soccer instead of Futball.
@@ght_dwn2607 keep this sh*t to yourself. it is called football!
First😂
🥇
Your title is very negative! “FREAK”?! What?!? 😳 SUPER DEROGATORY!!!
Well you can’t go pro in all it’s just stupid 😂
I play tons of sports. Basketball flag football softball gymnastics track volleyball swimming soccer tennis pickle ball and hockey. I’m the best person in my team out of all those sports. And every single one of those sports I’m playing up against people 5-10 years older than me. Like Bud this girl may be good but there’s other people in the world. I’m not saying I’m better than everyone in everything I do. Well I am because it’s true. Fifi is and amazing girl but come one there’s more people
Most people pray their kids are healthy not fast 🎚️
