Women in Handball: Leticia Brunati, Paula Eastman and Fernanda Insfran. Voices of protagonists who inspire and delight us with their talent in and out of the 40×20, in and out of the arena.
Women’s handball has grown strongly in recent decades, consolidating itself as a space for competition, self-improvement and leadership within the sport.
In this context, figures such as coach Leticia Brunati of Argentina and players Paula Eastman of Uruguay and Fernanda Insfran of Paraguay represent the commitment, discipline and passion that drive the development of this discipline.
Leticia Brunati a close leader
The coach, who recently won the South Central Beach Handball Championship in Rosario with the Argentine national team, tells us how she experiences Women’s Day.
“It is a day of much reflection, where we must keep in mind that, although we still have much to conquer as women, we are and occupy the places we have thanks to the struggle of our precursors.
It is our duty to continue on the same path and not forget to keep on building”.
As for referents, Brunati assured that there are many women referents in her life. “But in sports it’s Rossana Marques.”
“The first beach world cup I was at in Recife 2014, Rossana Marques was the coach of Brazil and they came out world champions.
It gave me a double joy, I was new to the sport, and it was a great inspiration to me.”
If you had to describe the woman in one word, what would it be? “Luchadora”.
Leticia Brunati is a coach with a strong formative identity and a deep commitment to the development of Argentine women’s handball.
Paula Eastman making her mark
The experienced player of the Layva Club and member of the Uruguayan women’s adult national team is one of the most important players in Uruguayan handball.
An inspiration for new generations of female players, Paula describes March 8 as a day of resilience and collective strength.
“It reminds us of the struggles that brought us this far and pushes us to keep moving toward a truly egalitarian society.”
His female references are his friends, his sisters and his mother. In addition, she uses two words to describe women: “Courage and Inspiration”.
Fernanda Insfran and her identity with Christ
Paraguayan player Fernanda Insfran has come a long way with handball.
Representative in the Guarani national team, today in European lands playing for Grafometal Sporting La Rioja of Spain, she leaves us a message where she reinforces the value of women.
“For me, Women’s Day is an opportunity to remember that our value comes from an unwavering and eternal source: God himself.”
“We are a masterpiece, designed with intention and purpose. We are strong, worthy and, above all, valuable.”
“Today, more than a celebration, I want to encourage all women to live with the certainty that you are already valuable.”
“Don’t compare yourself, don’t minimize yourself, because you are already enough.”
“I think we don’t need a specific day to know that we are important; as a woman I believe my identity is in Christ.”
Fernanda’s main reference is her mother, “… she is an example of strength, effort and unconditional love, she has taught me to work hard and never give up”.
“Her patience and generosity with our family are an inspiration to me. I want to be like her a strong, loving and noble woman.”
What would be that word that describes the woman? “Valiosa: source of love, strength and purpose,” said Insfran,Insfran said.
