What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreSince he’s been able to walk, he has my different sports and tried them out. Didn’t really find his calling until 2019 where he joined soccer team. This is where he found his passion for soccer and the community that surrounds it.
The one person that inspires me, is Erling Haaland. I love his work life balance. The way he can be on the field and very focused and in training camp and give the same intensity there. When he’s off the field, he makes it a point to be present in everybody’s lives and in that moment. He stays grounded to earth and really just focuses on his overall health mentally physically and spiritually.
My grandfather passed away in 2020, so he never got to watch me play. When he was here, he'd proudly introduce himself as my number one fan — my great-grandpa, bragging to anyone who'd listen. Getting to play the sport I'm passionate about, and loving every second I'm out on that field, is what would make him proudest of all. So now I play for him. I carry his memory with me, and I play for him, knowing that every time I step on the pitch, I'm making him proud, second by second, minute by minute
