Building relationships with his teammates and his coaches is his first priority and love. Secondly the feeling of improvement after training and practicing and seeing how far he can push hisself physically and lastly the joy of the fans and the chance to be a mentor to other soccer players.
Of course the professional player Messi, who symbolizes wing excellent at the game, yet humble as well. His former Coach Robert that passed a way during a season after battling cancer inspired him to be a better player to fit and never give up. He learned from him “Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.” And lastly his HS Coach G taught him to be a leader, no matter the competition you can always come away with a lesson. Positive attitude is everything.
