What I love most about playing is the energy, the competition, and that feeling when all the hard work pays off, especially with my team by my side!
I’m inspired by players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal, Messi and Cristiano shows how hard work and heart can take you to the top, and Lamine proves that age doesn’t define greatness. He’s young, fearless, and always thinking outside the box. I’m also grateful for my parents, family, coaches and teammates, they challenge me, believe in me, and make the game even more fun.
One moment that made me the proudest was scoring the game winning goal that sent my team to the finals. I worked so hard to earn my spot, and that moment proved it was all worth it. I’ll never forget the cheers, the high-fives, and how proud my team and coaches were! And of course to receive the best hugs in the world by mom and bonus dad.
