Receive Text UpdatesMax loves the rhythm of soccer—the rush of the game, the bond with his team, and the thrill of each challenge. On the field, he feels free and focused. Like piano, soccer sharpens his mind and fuels his creativity. Both teach him grit, joy, and how to grow through every win, loss, and lesson.
Max is inspired by Lionel Messi’s quiet strength—leading with heart, not ego. He also looks up to his piano teacher, whose patience and work ethic helped him earn a Superior rating. From them, Max learns that greatness comes from humility, discipline, and believing in yourself.
With minutes left in a tied game, Max fought for a steal, made the assist, then scored the equalizer. But the proudest moment? Him rallying his team, lifting their spirits, and showing calm leadership under pressure. That day, he proved he’s not just a player—he’s a true teammate.
