THE PROJECT
01—

BECOMING A TITAN.
ONE CHALLENGE
AT A TIME.

Zero is where I’m starting. Titan is the person I’m trying to become: someone willing to prepare, face something unfamiliar and keep going. This project follows that transformation through different sports and challenges, with everything it takes to get there.

THE DISTANCE CHANGES.
THE DISCIPLINE CHANGES.
THE QUESTION REMAINS:
CAN I DO THIS?

The chapters are the major milestones: memorable adventures that demand a profound commitment. Between them, there will be smaller challenges, each with its own preparation, its own doubts and its own story. Some will build towards the next big objective. Others will take me somewhere different.

THE BIG CHAPTERS

SOME CHALLENGES
BECOME CHAPTERS.

Icelandic volcanic highlands
CHAPTER 01 / ICELAND

THE RIFT.

200 km of gravel through Iceland.
One major chapter in a much bigger story.

01
THE RIFT
Iceland. Around 200 km of gravel. My entry is secured; the preparation is the story still to be lived.
ENTRY CONFIRMED
02
TO BE REVEALED
First, I have to live Chapter 01. When it ends, I’ll reveal what comes next.
NOT YET REVEALED
03
TO BE REVEALED
Another page still unwritten. Its destination stays a mystery until its moment comes.
NOT YET REVEALED

The Rift is the only chapter announced so far. The next chapters will be revealed in their own time. There is no fixed number, and not every challenge will become a chapter.

Iceland’s highlands bring unpredictable weather, exposed terrain and a challenge that goes beyond distance. Getting to the start line is the first milestone. Finishing is the goal.

BETWEEN THE CHAPTERS,
THE STORY KEEPS MOVING.

Smaller challenges will be part of the journey too. A different discipline, a shorter competition, a new skill to learn. Each will need specific preparation, and I’ll document that process as well. These experiences have a story of their own, whether they connect to the main objective or take a different direction.

EVERY CHALLENGE, FROM THE INSIDE

BEFORE THE START.
BEYOND THE RESULT.

Choosing a challenge is the beginning. Then comes learning what it demands, making time to train, getting things wrong and trying again. I’ll document the whole process, including the days when there is nothing impressive to show.

THE DECISION
What makes me choose a challenge I’m not ready for yet?
THE PREPARATION
What do I need to learn, train and change in my everyday life to get there?
THE DOUBT
What happens when progress stalls, motivation fades or the plan falls apart?
THE CHANGE
Whatever the result, what will I take into the next chapter?

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECT

A SPORTING LIFE.
A NEW
BEGINNING.

I’m Gonzalo Ayala. I played field hockey professionally and today I work as a coach and sports director. I’m also the founder of Veld, a global field hockey platform.

Sport has always been part of my life. But having played hockey doesn’t make me ready for every new challenge. Each one means being a beginner at something again, learning what it demands and fitting specific preparation around work and everyday life.

PARTNERSHIPS

HELP SHAPE
WHAT COMES NEXT.

The story continues from one challenge to the next. A partner can become part of the preparation, the learning and the moments people remember. I’m looking for brands whose products, expertise or support have a real role in that process.

A COLLABORATION PROPOSAL

YOUR EXPERTISE.
PART OF MY
TRANSFORMATION.

Behind each challenge are people who help make the preparation possible. This is where we can tell their story too: who they are, what they contribute and how we work together.

A proposed space for a future partner. The collaboration and its content will be agreed together.

A place for your company

A dedicated introduction with your name, logo, website and the people behind the work. Visitors can understand what you do and find you directly.

A contribution people can understand

An explanation of your role in the preparation: the needs we identify, what we work on together and how that support becomes part of the journey.

A story that develops over time

As we create them, photographs, documentary episodes and updates can show the collaboration in practice. The context stays here, alongside the chapters it supports.

LET’S SHAPE THE COLLABORATION

BEFORE

Help make the preparation possible: equipment, guidance and the work behind each objective.

DURING

Be part of the experience, where that support is put into practice.

AFTER

Stay in the story through the lessons, the documentary and the next challenge.
