Jovanny loves soccer the most because it gives him an escape from real life. When he’s on the field, all the stress and distractions fade away. It’s just him, the ball, and the game he loves. Soccer is more than a sport for him—it’s therapy, freedom, and the place where he feels most alive.
Cristiano Ronaldo inspires my athletic journey on the field. His dedication, discipline, and consistency remind me what it means to truly commit to greatness. No matter the pressure or setbacks, he continues to show up, work hard, and lead by example. Watching him motivates me to push myself every day—to stay focused, train harder, and believe in my goals.
My proudest moment in my athletics journey wasn’t a win, a trophy, or a highlight play—it was finding the strength to get back up after a tough loss. It was choosing to keep showing up, to keep training, and to keep loving the sport even when things didn’t go my way. That moment taught me that true athletes aren’t just made in victory—they’re built in how they bounce back. Perseverance is what shaped me. It’s what reminded me why I started and why I’ll never give up on what I love.
