A Dream Born at Eight Years Old: The Start of VicterV’s Fortnite Journey

Their story began when VicterV was only eight years old. Like many children, he had big dreams, but his were mainly focused: he wanted to be the best Fortnite player in the world. His father, a professional boxing coach with years of experience training world champions, initially had different plans for his son. He envisioned a future in competitive swimming and even the Olympics. After all, VicterV was already a top competitor in his age group for swimming.

However, fate took a different turn. VicterV’s older brother, who had been playing Fortnite much longer, recognized his younger sibling’s elite-level skills quickly. It became clear to their father that Fortnite was more than just a hobby for VicterV—it was a passion and perhaps his true calling.

From Swimming to Fortnite: A Father’s Shift in Focus

Seeing his son’s exceptional talent, VicterV’s father decided to support his dream fully. It was a pivotal moment, and the father, who had dedicated his life to sports and coaching, began to invest in helping VicterV become one of the best Fortnite players. What makes this journey even more remarkable is the balance of a father’s love with his discipline as a coach.

Although VicterV’s father was unfamiliar with gaming, he knew the principles of success—discipline, dedication, and mental toughness. As a coach to professional boxers, including several world champions, he understood what it took to reach the highest level in any competitive arena. He applied these same principles to his son’s Fortnite training to sharpen his skills and teach him valuable life lessons.

“I don’t actually know the game that well,” his father admits, “but I use the game to illustrate the principles I know, because I know he can relate to that.”

A Father-Son Bonding Journey Through Streaming and Fortnite

The father-son duo has been streaming together for the past five years, sharing their journey with the world. Through streaming, they aim to inspire other parents to fully support their children’s dreams and passions—especially in a world where esports might seem unfamiliar or unconventional to many parents. They hope to show that kids can achieve great things with the right balance of discipline, love, and guidance.

This journey has become about more than just winning in Fortnite. It’s about being a role model for children and parents alike, showing that a father’s involvement in their child’s passion can make all the difference.
