This is tough. Working, cooking, working out, maintenance, training for Olympics. You do have a better control over your day than many. I really admire your dedication, discipline and consistency. God speed Marco. May you win all that you strive for
This man managed to call me lazy over the course of the entire 12 minute video. Oh god, what am I doing with my life. Keep up the good work because you’re inspiring af 😅
Even if the Olympics doesn’t come, you are truly inspiring. I’m a swimmer too. Most of my friends left the sport a couple years ago. This content comforts me while I struggle not to leave it. I hope that one day I can be just like you.
@@luism93g I live in a third world country, and for some cultural, educational, economical, societal, and other factors it’s quite complicated to handle both (ngl also my laziness) if you have some tips I would appreciate them.
It's cool to see the apparently seamless transition back to Cali and training-while incorporating work into the mix. I assume there was a LOT of effort to get you and Loki moved, and resettled. Thanks for bringing us along on this new adventure!
Hello from Turkey. I am also a software engineer and my biggest passion is swimming. I go swimming every chance I get from work. Also, playing the piano is the thing that calms me down the most and makes me feel like I'm meditating. Do I need to get into the topic of cats? I can't believe I have a male twin on the other side of the world. Apart from the difference in people and place in this video, we are completely similar people. wow
wow this truly something. I always admire people who goes to Olympics. You need a lot of discipline for the feat. Good luck! will look out for you in Olympics.
I am a true fan.... of yours, your accomplishments, dreams, give me a lot of inspiration ,hope, motivation I am cheering you on while you are training for the Olympics ...
Marcos, great video and very real. No sugar coating on how you bring success to your life. Admire your consistency, and willingness to deal with boredom not matter what.
If you did the editing you have awesome editing skills too!! Very nice video, has a comfort food relaxing way to spend time with a friend vibe. Subscribed. Thumbs up 👍👍👍
@@Diego0wnz "vulnerable day" as if we have to appreciate it. He's using the speedo shots for views. I'd hope you can think outside of your little box of a typical npc who repeats random sh.t they see on the internet. And what makes an npc think everyone else has to think like them?
glad you gave it another shot, just goes to show if you want it bad enough you will find a way to get it. looking forward to your grind as i grind myself! similar goals in mind but im 5 years behind 🙌
So excited for this new chapter. Would love to hear you share the story of how this came about? Do u train with Cal up until the Olympics? Are you competing at meets?
Me two. I asked the same question and got the same answer as you did…. I already knew the background dunces I watched it as well from the start. Just would love the story how Marco got to the point of this new chapter. Thx
I hope you do read this message, Marcos: I'm not training at Olympic level yet (but i do know how to), but I'm still a working student at school and swimming for me became from a hobby to something I'm considering to become serious. I love my life as an athlete more, but I think my training versus your training is far more different because I kinda developed an unhealthy obsession over like swimming where it takes up my free time as well. The part where you showed your hobbies (10:41) kinda hit me hard because I think gaming can be a hobby, but my friends have been telling me to get off your computer due to like my work is also in the computer as well (studying and work-work).
you’re gonna go far in life! you live simply, you work hard and smart. people wonder why some people succeed and others don’t. we all get the same 24 hours, do we make excuses or go for “it”? From another young person that tries to get the most out of my day to you - well done! God bless bro
> we all get the same 24 hours, do we make excuses or go for “it” Circumstances change everything. If you have to work 2 jobs, then no training. If you didn't have the chance to have access to a good university team, then you have to train twice harder, etc... And that's discarding all the non-predictable shit that can happen in your life with family, partner, friends.
@@TheQu3tzalifyI agree with you, not everyone has the same circumstances. Go in my country where commuting to school or work even if it’s relatively near takes a fraction of your day. But Im glad this man has the right mindset and right circumstances for him to succeed in life.
It's great to see you back in Cali and swimming again. You do a 1hr, 30minute swimming workout twice a day and I only do a 1hr swimming workout daily at the health club. You are motivating me to step up my game a little!
hey, really cool to see people who live their lives to their max. I have similar lifestyle, full-time software engineer and ballroom dancer, I really like how your day is split into small segments and that u constantly change between work/sports activities, I think it makes it more engaging and u don't get bored, in my case I usually work 8 hours straight as my training is in the evening but I think I will change it to your style on days when i free-practise. How do u deal with weekends? Sometimes I feel like my social life is a bit poor as I constantly commit to my week schedule.
Marcos very interesting through out the day video. I liked the content. Did you move back to California to train for the upcoming Olympics ? How about doing a video advertising your swim equipment? Take care and I wish you make it to the Olympics. Proud of you
as a subscribers who subscribes you when you were still a swimmers, I am very excited to see you back in the swimming world again. Hope to see you on TV as a swimmer!!!
Great vid! I'm genuinely curious if thats all you eat in a day doing so much physical activity 🤯? Seems crazy, I'm a triathlete and I eat like 3x that doing a similar amount of training. I would have thought an olympian would be taking in at least wayyy more protein than that - keep it up, really entertaining regardless
Same thought, two pieces of toast with an egg and pieces of tomato, that’s kind of nothing, after more than one and half hours swim and then gym and serious work not even count the scooter travels between training sites and home. 😢
I ❤️ your discipline a lot of work to be able to keep it all together especially after leaving the athletic world and returning as well as being a working class professional....❤️💪🏼😉......
This is the 1st video ive seen of you and its great to watch im a swimmer too, im training for SANJ (South African Junior nationals) next year and its really hard i do 8 swimming sessions 3 morning 5 afternoon and 5 gym sessions.
Seems like your mental fortitude is really strong to push physically during practice and mentally at work to learn new things. However, it seems like you are very tired during work because you are practicing twice a day. Hopefully this doesn't break you down long term because there is only so much time in the day and so much you can commit to in your life. Something always takes a hit and getting more sleep could be extremely beneficial to you.
Marcos, hi, so fun to watch you on your journey. I am new to swimming and there's a backstory there. Swimming open water is a dream of mine. Starting in the pool and being comfortable there is where I hope to start in the spring. I love to see you playing the piano too. I am waiting to tune mine. Loki is so cute. It was funny to see you moving her off things throughout the filming process. Ha! That food looks really good. I hope you have a nice rest of your day :)
Marcos! Now that you don't having dining at your office, how are you eating enough calories to maintain while you train so much? Are you generally just eating out more or are you cooking way more now for yourself?
Every time I watch any of your videos it motivates me and makes me feel better. You work really hard and your hardwork is admirable, you are a very good person. I wish you the best, take care of yourself🤍
Wait this is cool that you're training, I hope you make it so I can see you next year! I already have my tickets to mens swimming finals. Probably better chances of seeing you there than running into you in the streets of NYC
This is tough. Working, cooking, working out, maintenance, training for Olympics. You do have a better control over your day than many. I really admire your dedication, discipline and consistency. God speed Marco. May you win all that you strive for
Crazy how productive some people in this world are while I sit in front of my PC watching them being productive...
fr 💀😭
real comment
Same😢
I’m sad for myself
All you saying youre sad about that and or implying you wish you could be like that, need to shut up and actually do it
This man managed to call me lazy over the course of the entire 12 minute video. Oh god, what am I doing with my life. Keep up the good work because you’re inspiring af 😅

Why left swimming entirely?bi swim 3 times a week and im a civil enginner
@@luism93g I live in a third world country, and for some cultural, educational, economical, societal, and other factors it’s quite complicated to handle both (ngl also my laziness) if you have some tips I would appreciate them.
Make it a routine so you don't question it.
@@moulaye7534 i am from a third world country to, in south america, you have to work in your mind and your fears, and the rest will come in addition.
fellow software engineer and athlete. mad respect man!! keep crushing.
Rooting for your qualification for the Olympics, Marcos! You got this! 🔥
Man the amount of stuff you get done in a day is mind boggling! Keep up the good work you're a real Renaissance man.
software engineer playing piano and training for olympics and i cannot even wake up consistently :D
It's cool to see the apparently seamless transition back to Cali and training-while incorporating work into the mix. I assume there was a LOT of effort to get you and Loki moved, and resettled. Thanks for bringing us along on this new adventure!
He’s back at Cal! Excited for this new chapter for you Marcos 🐻

A cute swimmer who’s openly affectionate to their cat making a mean breakfast is a green flag.
your a dude
He just showed you a vulnerable day of his life. I’d hope you see more than his gender and a potential virtual color of a flag. Men aren’t objects

So you moved back to Cali. I’m glad you’re still Coding and still have Loki. I’m so relieved. All the best for the Olympics :)
Excited to see your new life back in California. All the best!
glad you gave it another shot, just goes to show if you want it bad enough you will find a way to get it. looking forward to your grind as i grind myself! similar goals in mind but im 5 years behind 🙌
Get it Marcos, we believe in you!
So excited for this new chapter. Would love to hear you share the story of how this came about? Do u train with Cal up until the Olympics? Are you competing at meets?
he graduated from cal 2 years ago, which he was on the swim team for.
@@vwpanda8403 I was aware of that. I’ve been watch from the beginning.

Thank you for sharing your day with us. ✅
So Marcos you get a new job and work from home as a software engineer and practice for upcoming Olympic Games at the same time? That’s so cool 😮!
This is so cool Marcos, best of luck on your journey!

Great to see you swimming again. Also, Chopin's Revolutionary? You are so awesome!!!!
Glad to see you Pursue your dream....❤
This is awesome! Good luck on your journey!
You are so much better than everyone else and not a big head at all.
I love how your cat looks at the monitor while u work as if he knows what's happening :)
Didn’t know you were swimming at such level. Truly inspired by you going for your dream! Hope you make it🎉
10:46 Mr. Marcos can tickle the ivories. Nice 👏🏽
Welcome back Marcos and let's get 100K UA-cam subscriber.
Good to see you and excited to see your new chapter of life as i am also in my final year of Computer Science & Engineering

I would have thought an olympian would be taking in at least wayyy more protein than that - keep it up, really entertaining regardless
I had the same thought.
Same though about the amount of food, its not enough! I’m also a triathlete, train twice a day and inhale 3000-4000 calories daily.
Same thought, two pieces of toast with an egg and pieces of tomato, that’s kind of nothing, after more than one and half hours swim and then gym and serious work not even count the scooter travels between training sites and home. 😢
Loved your vlog. Big,big thumbs up 👍
definitely God has their favorites... SE, athlete and musician, what a guy! keep going bro
Such a motivating video! Good luck for your olympic prep!
Go get em!!! Marcos!
I ❤️ your discipline a lot of work to be able to keep it all together especially after leaving the athletic world and returning as well as being a working class professional....❤️💪🏼😉......
Super inspired by you ❤❤❤ thx !!
Ayyy he's back! Interested in going into software engineering; how long did it take for you to get hired after you graduated college?
This is the 1st video ive seen of you and its great to watch im a swimmer too, im training for SANJ (South African Junior nationals) next year and its really hard i do 8 swimming sessions 3 morning 5 afternoon and 5 gym sessions.
Ur actually inner engineering urself too.....👍👍👍👍
Let’s go!! The most talented swimmer I know.. 💪🏾💪🏾
I'm starting to take swimming lessons and trying to land an intern position at my junior year in college, you're such goal(t), dude
I love your channel and content bro. Kudos man!
Great video. What kind of cat do you have and what kind of keyboard are you using at the desk? Thanks!
Amazing video man, truly inspiring and motivational!

Great stuff. Keep it coming.
Always watching your videos from the Philippines. Good luck and More power! 👌😊
Chopin etude impressed me, only because you have such a full schedule didn’t think you had time for Chopin😂
I love how you spend every single minute at doing productives stuffs
That motivating keep posting more vlogs ❤❤
So nice to see a new vlog! Hope you’re well and here’s to a 100 friends on Google Meet.
After watching this, I have no excuses to not work hard.
Marcos! Now that you don't having dining at your office, how are you eating enough calories to maintain while you train so much? Are you generally just eating out more or are you cooking way more now for yourself?
Love it Marcos. Keep grinding brother
Bro! Can you share that mushroom chicken recipe??! Like are you placing the chicken in they’re raw?! Thanks!
love this. inspiring stuff
Really inspiring videos man! Keep going!
taking inspiration from you man
nothing but respect ty for motivating me
Subscribed. Liked the vid. Commented. Inspired ❤️❤️
Do more of these!
The La la land song made me pause for a little bit. I almost cried
Every time I watch any of your videos it motivates me and makes me feel better. You work really hard and your hardwork is admirable, you are a very good person.
I wish you the best, take care of yourself🤍
If he doesn’t start grinding chess at 7pm is he really living :)?😂
Very very inspirational.
Wait this is cool that you're training, I hope you make it so I can see you next year! I already have my tickets to mens swimming finals. Probably better chances of seeing you there than running into you in the streets of NYC
10:59 Wow! This reminds me of ‘La La Land’ 🔥
I respect your grind bro! and love the editing
Have a great day!
Look at you with the Google sponsor 🤗🤗
Ayyy thats my song at 3:15!
Super well-balanced life right here. So glad Loki is still with you. Would love to know how she’s adjusting. Keep up the good work!

I love this video, Marcos! Thanks for sharing a day in your life! :) Keep it coming!! =)
Go Bears!
Best of luck!
So cool!
But how did you survive from breakfast till lunch?
Awsome and Inspiring Video ❤
Great video!
I’m so glad Loki is still around.
Thanks for the video , one question What bread do you use? Thanks
Hey Marcos, could you do a video of your skincare routine? Swimming is taxing on my skin but I don't wanna give it up for that reason.
