What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

I love being a team player and cheering my boys up when they are down or make an mistake. This year they made me team captain so I take my job very seriously I want us to achieve great things this season. He love the feeling of winning and celebrating with his team and siblings. He want to become pro so he train alot and when we can afford it we try to put him in different camps to get better, faster and stronger. He deserves everything in life because of how he treat others. He is amazing.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Kylian Mbappe' inspires him on the field and his dad inspires him off the field. He loves how Mbappe athletic, fast, and how his dribbling skills are. He try to learn his tricks to do on the field. With his dad he loves how he never gave up in life. We was homeless and not being to eat or take baths like that he decided to join the army to give us a better life and its been the best decision ever. Now we can provide for our 4 kids and let them play sports that they love. My son is very humble.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Ugh its sooo many but I would say my proudest moments are when he broke 3 fingers from playing soccer and he broke his wrist at school but he was still dedicated to play because he didn't want to let the team down. He care so much about others and how they feel. He always put his self last to put a smile on someone else's face. With him being behind because he started late in life because of what we went through he is amazing. He is such an humble guy.
