He loves soccer because it challenges him every day and fuels his passion to grow as both a player and a person. The game gives him a sense of purpose, excitement, and teamwork that drives him to work harder. From scoring goals to supporting his teammates, he thrives on the energy and strategy of every match. Soccer is more than a sport for him—it’s where he feels most alive, focused, and motivated to push his limits and achieve his goals.
He watches professional players and follows kids from high school that go to college and sees ones who gain success are the ones who work hard and he is insanely self disciplined.
He has just exceeded expectations just when you think he can’t do any better summer of 2024 coach needed someone to hopefully score goals and new no matter what position Austin was in he nailed it so first time playing striker was always defense or sometimes midfield. Couple games into season no goals scored then 1 minute left in the third game he scored and it was incredible the stands erupted and his teammates ran with him to celebrate from That point on he was a force that couldn’t be stoppe.
