‘Behind The Shot’ is a 2D hand-drawn animation that talks about my story as a water polo player.

By showing my daily routine, revealing my struggles during training and how I overcome them,

I hope to express one message –

No matter what, I’ll keep going...because that makes me feel alive.

In modern society, most people work hard to enhance their quality of life.

Yet, a small group of dreamers, barely making a living, keep “torturing” themselves and challenging their limits.

These people are called ‘amateur athletes’.

Most of us would rather rest or spend time with our loved ones to recharge ourselves after a long workday.

But for amateur athletes, training is their way of rejuvenating themselves.

What others see as a sacrifice of rest and social life, these humans see as self-challenge.

No matter how demanding the path is, their passion for the sport and determination keep them going.

As an amateur athlete, I often got asked about my reasons for persistence.

Therefore, I hope to provide my answers through this project.
