Amani loves how soccer lets him take control of the game—whether breaking through defenders with his footwork, shutting down an attack, or setting up the perfect pass. As a midfielder, he thrives under pressure and brings energy to both ends of the field. He hypes up his team, leads by example, and reminds others what they’re capable of—even when the game gets tough.
Amani is inspired by his mom—his fiercest cheerleader and example of strength. On the field, he looks up to players like Kevin De Bruyne, who lead through vision, control, and impact. Amani studies how great midfielders move, think, and lead, not just to improve his game, but to become the kind of player others can count on—skilled, strategic, and uplifting.
In one game, his team was down and rattled—until Amani stepped up. As midfielder, he broke through tight pressure to score, then later jumped in goal and made a clutch save to protect the win. He didn’t just turn the game around—he turned his team’s energy around. That moment proved he’s not just skilled—he’s a leader with grit, vision, and heart.
