Two Different Socks One Shared Dream
15 July 2025
A story about courage, identity, and the little boy who chose to be himself – every step of the way.
Alex, are you sure you want to wear two different socks?”
“Yes. I actually like it!”
It all started with a pair of mismatched socks.
At first glance, it may seem like a small detail.
But to me, it’s a statement.
A child who, from a young age, was taught to be himself, every single day.
Alex wears two completely different socks – at every training, every tournament, every time he steps on the court.
It’s not an accident. It’s not a joke.
It’s his way of saying:
I don’t have to match to belong.
I’ve taught him since he was little that authenticity isn’t something to hide.
He should never feel ashamed for being different.
On the contrary – he should be proud.
Because that’s what makes him special. That’s what makes him stand out. That’s what makes him him.
He chooses the socks himself. Sometimes he matches them with his shirt. Sometimes with his mood.
One day it’s red and black. Another day white and green.
To him, it’s normal.
To me, it’s a symbol – that he has the courage to be exactly who he is.
At some competitions, I’ve seen kids stare or laugh quietly behind his back.
I remember one tournament where a mom asked me, quite seriously, whether he was half-asleep that morning when he got dressed. 😄
She didn’t know Alex. She didn’t know that this is his style – his choice, not a mistake.
And the truth is: he feels good like this.
He owns it.
And that’s what makes him special. That’s what makes him authentic. That’s what makes him, him.
He doesn't wear those socks by accident – he wears them with confidence.
Maybe for some, it looks like just a pair of socks.
But behind them stands a child who is learning to be free and proud of who he is.
> Sometimes, all a child needs is the freedom to be themselves.
Not to be corrected. Not to be shaped into someone else.
But to be seen – just as they are.
He's the boy on Court 5.
Authentic. Determined. Himself.
That’s how the journey begins.
> Sometimes, all it takes is one sock… and the courage to wear it the way you feel it.
The rest comes step by step.
