You decide who will be named Youth Athlete of the Year, featured in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated, and take home $25,000
He’s loved soccer since he was 2, started playing at 4, and thrives as a transitional player. He trains daily—futsal, speed, weights, and skills—not just to improve, but because he loves the camaraderie, team building, and overcoming challenges with his teammates.
He is inspired by his dad, who trains him in fitness and healthy eating, and his mom, who introduced him to soccer and taught him to always show up. Players like Messi, Doku, and Yamal remind him that size doesn’t matter—hard work does. Coach Luis pushes him to improve every day, and his teammates show him the power of unity and teamwork.
My son has been overlooked for years due to his size. Last year, his coach gave him no chances or feedback, but that lit a fire in him. He now trains harder than ever—speed and athletic training 4–5 days a week, personal training 3–5 hours weekly, daily solo practice, futsal and team sessions, plus light weightlifting with his dad. His dedication and resilience show his true strength. Due to all his hard work, he has received an invitation to play in a much more competitive league, ECNL-RL.
