CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT
The Testimonial of ITALIAN SPORTS LEGENDS 2023 will be
Habakkuk BALDONADO, a talented young Italian who has captured the attention of the American public and conquered the prestigious stage of the NFL.
Born in Rome in 1999, Habakkuk BALDONADO started practicing American Football from a very young age, where he already had the opportunity to show off all his value with the Lazio Marines shirt. Going to the United States of America he demonstrated his ability, dedication and determination on the playing field, managing in a short time to reach an extraordinary milestone in his sports career by becoming the second Italian to serve in the National Football League, entering thus in the history of international football as the thirteenth Italian athlete to be part of this prestigious League. Currently, BALDONADO wears the jersey of the New York Giants.
The Committee has chosen to pay tribute to this promising young American Footballer for his role as "ambassador" of Italian sport in the world. The inclusion of Habakkuk BALDONADO therefore represents a tribute to the commitment and passion he has shown in achieving such extraordinary results internationally. It is hoped that his presence and success will inspire and stimulate many children and young people, showing them that with commitment and dedication it is possible to achieve extraordinary goals and proudly represent Italy in the sporting arena.
