For Benjamin, soccer isn’t just a sport—it’s freedom. He loves the rush of being on the field, the strategy behind every pass, and the thrill of working as a team toward a shared goal.
On the field, he’s inspired by his teammates—the ones who hustle hard, never give up, and always lift each other up. Off the field, his family is his biggest inspiration. The way they support him, show up to his games, and encourage him to chase his goals means everything to him.
One of my proudest moments was when Benjamin was chosen as captain for his tournament team. Not just because of his talent—but because of his heart, leadership, and the way he lifts up everyone around him. And then… he wrapped up his spring season with 21 goals.
