Pancho Campo, a businessman from Marbella, has become the first Spanish civilian citizen over the age of 60 to skydive from 8 kilometres (25,000 feet) in HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) mode. Now, he has turned this feat into an inspirational conference, aimed at raising funds for those affected by the recent DANA floods in Valencia.
The conference, entitled "Fear"will be held on next 18th of November at 19:30 at the Hard Rock Hotel Marbella. Campo will share tools and strategies for dealing with fear and managing stress, with the aim of motivating attendees to overcome their own challenges. Tickets for the event are now available at www.panchocampo.orgThe entire proceeds will be donated to Caritas to support the victims in Valencia.
On Thursday 14th November at 12:30 pm, the official presentation of the event will take place at the Hard Rock Café Marbella, with the participation of the Councillor for Sports of Marbella, Lisandro Vieytes.
An extreme experience turned into a life lesson
In his lecture, Campo will talk about the preparation required to perform a HALO jump, a form of skydiving considered high-risk, as it involves jumping from a high altitude and using advanced oxygen equipment to avoid hypoxia. He will also share his experiences as a tennis pro, his adventures swimming with sharks and diving under the ice in Greenland. In addition, he will recount how he coped with extreme situations such as kidnapping in South Africa and his unjust inclusion on the Interpol list for more than a decade, applying techniques to manage fear and stress.
An anti-bullying message
The August field jump, held in the Danish city of Herning with the support of Halo2 and broadcast on social media, is being documented to explore the management of fear and its relationship to issues such as bullying, school violence and the use of fear as a tool to prevent bullying. bullying. "My cry of 'No to bullying' with this leap has raised this claim to another level," said Campo, who plans to take this message to schools and respond to the concerns of students, with a special focus on parents and youth welfare.
Pancho Campo's career and commitment
Campo is not only a pioneer in skydiving; his sporting career includes glacier climbing and expeditions in the Arctic, Africa, Iceland, Greenland and the Caribbean. He was a professional tennis player and coach, as well as the director of Nick Bollettieri's academy in Europe, which saw the likes of Andre Agassi and Maria Sharapova grow up. This journey led him to develop SMILE (Stress, Motivation, Inspiration, Leadership and Energy), a programme that helps to cope with extreme situations, which he will share with the audience in his lecture.
