Zylen loves the excitement of competition, the camaraderie of his teammates, and the challenge of pushing himself to be the best. Soccer gives him a sense of purpose, builds his confidence, and fuels his passion. Whether scoring goals or supporting others, he plays with heart, determination, and respect, inspiring those around him with his dedication to the game.
Zylen is inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, spending much of his free time watching, practicing, and mastering Ronaldo’s famous kicks. Off the field, his biggest supporters are his mom and dad, who encourage him to work hard, stay humble, and never give up. Their support and Ronaldo’s example fuel his drive, both in soccer and in life, to keep improving and chasing his dream
There are countless proud moments in Zylen’s athletic journey, but what makes me most proud is his unwavering determination to be one of the best while staying humble. No matter the challenge, he gives his all, pushes through setbacks, and leads with respect and sportsmanship. His drive to improve, paired with his humility, is what truly makes him stand out on and off the field
