Main Article Content

Abstract

In 2014, former American baseball player Derek Jeter founded the website The Players' Tribune, on which athletes of all sports can publish autobiographical pieces, to have in their hands a role that, for a long time, belonged to the traditional media – bringing their stories beyond sports performances to the public. These articles, however, can also be seen as a form of self-branding since the athlete holds the power of the story that is being written. Therefore, the objective is to analyse, with the help of Systemic-Functional Linguistics and Transitivity System, one of those articles, written by the Brazilian player Daniel Alves, to understand if the experience report works in favour of production the self as a role model.
