What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe loves the excitement of the game, the challenge of getting better, scoring goals, making plays, and celebrating with his teammates. Most of all, he loves being on the field, giving his all, and being part of a team that feels like family.
His family inspires him by always being in his corner, cheering him on, encouraging him through challenges, and celebrating every accomplishment. They teach him to work hard, stay humble, believe in himself, and never give up. He also looks up to Lamine Yamal for his incredible skill, confidence, hard work, and fearlessness at such a young age. Together, they inspire him to keep improving, chase his dreams, and become the best player and person he can be.
One of my proudest moments has been watching him grow from a young player into a confident, dedicated athlete. Seeing his hard work, determination, and love for soccer shine through—especially when he keeps pushing himself, encourages his teammates, and never gives up—makes me incredibly proud. Watching him step onto the field and give everything he has reminds me how far he has come.
