My son lives and breathes soccer, he’s hard-working, humble, team focused, and leads with heart on and off the field.

The first thing I have noticed that he enjoys and love is the interaction with other players and the new friendship’s he creates. Secondly the endurance and energy of the sport seems to fuel my son’s veins he lives off of it . I also think he really loves the competitiveness and all that comes with the sport .
I know that he is inspired by The soccer players Ronaldo and Messi , I also believe the friends he has made in school and sports are huge influences and inspire him to go big and go for his dreams !
His first real tournament he played in , the last game of the 3 day event he scored his first game goal . And they won 1st place right after that game! It was a huge moment for him and us as parents, watching that glow and happiness that he got to experience . It was something so special and watching how he worked so hard to get there . Watching them go undefeated in his division of the tournament was incredible.
