Meet Caleb Wu, the talented soccer player from USA who broke a world record with his super skills! ⚽
He achieved the most alternating football (soccer) touches with the feet on a treadmill in 30 seconds with the impressive total of 75.
Basically, he juggled a football with his feet while running on a treadmill…
Check out his successful attempt here 👇
Caleb has been passionate about the sport since he was a little kid!
He told us: “I did a lot of juggling tricks and soccer/football freestyle.
“My teammates challenged me as they showed me a video of someone trying and failing to do it so I wanted to prove them wrong - and it was a fun challenge.”
The 22-year-old has had some difficulties growing up, and he hopes that his success will show that you can achieve great things in life if you decide to keep going and not give up. 💪
“[…] I also wanted to inspire others to show them that they’re capable of overcoming obstacles.”
As a kid, Caleb also had to deal with racism from school classmates who would call him names.
He said: “I overcame my struggles through finding a passion and wanting to inspire and help others who also struggle.”
Racism is wrong because everyone is different but equally important in this world, and we should treat all people with kindness and respect. 🙏
Caleb admitted that he was both nervous and excited on the day of his record attempt…
Who wouldn’t be?!
He was at work when he found out he’d officially broken the record, and excitedly shared the news with his colleagues. 🥳
So how does it feel to be a world record holder?
He told us: “It was one of the best feelings knowing that all my experiences both positive and negative had led me to this great moment and achievement.”
Caleb’s story teaches us that, sometimes, challenges make you stronger, and pushing through tough times helps you achieve amazing things. 👏
Congratulations, Caleb, you are Officially Amazing!
