At a young age his natural talent and love for the game was noticed. Since he was six he had dedicated his time and effort to improving his skill and developing as a player. Wether it’s practicing in the backyard, leading the team on game day, or watching matches to learn more.His dedication and passion and love for the game shines through every kick. Soccer just isn’t a sport for him it’s a way of life.Through wins and losses he shows incredible resilience. He’s a humble player.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

His inspiration is N’Golo Kante, not only because he plays the same position as a midfielder and because of his world class talent and achievements. He has so much to learn from him to better himself on the field but more because of his humble nature how he stays grounded, avoids the spotlight, and focuses on the team over personal fame. He respects him not just for his skill, but for his quiet strength, work ethic, and genuine humility on and off the pitch.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

There has been many moments in his years that has made me proud. But in his athletic journey it’s when he did an ID camp and he was one of 2 players picked out of 150 players that was scouted by a FIFA agent and got the opportunity to go on trials in Dubai at the young age of 14. It was an incredible moment not only for us as his parent but for him to get the recognition for all his hard work and sacrifices he has made throughout the years and a step closer to him accomplishing his dream.
