- EXCELLENCE IN SPORT: A STUDY CENTERED ON THE LIFE STORY OF 14-TIME WORLD CHAMPION THIERRY GUEORGIOUPublication . Celestino, Tadeu Ferreira de Sousa Celestino; Leonido, Levi; Morgado, Elsa Gabriel; Pereira, AntoninoThis paper seeks to identify the factors and characteristics that determine the development and maintenance of excellence in orienteering, by examining the life of an athlete who has been a world champion 14 times. "Life Stories" were used as a method to collect data. The data was collected by conducting semi-structured interviews and an analysis of various documents. This data was then analyzed using the content analysis method. The results highlight the need for successful interaction between socio-contextual and socio-personal factors over time. Therefore, achieving excellence in orienteering is a multidimensional process that must be understood using a bio-psycho-socioaxiological perspective.
