What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe loves being the absolute best that he can be, in order to bring his team to victory. He has trained and played for a number of teams since the tender age of 3, but never did he act as if he was a little boy playing for fun. For him, it was much more!
Coaches, friends, and family are his support system. We all see how much he enjoys soccer, and his long term goals in the sport. His coaches always advise him, mentor him and have referred him to play with older aged youth to fill in. And those teams, keep coming back to look for him. That’s a big plus for his stats!
In one game in particular. Yes, he was hurt that his team lost, and so was his team. When all of a sudden you see him from Across, the field jump up off of the bench and he starts telling his team something that we later found out. All the players got up and went and shut the hands of the other team and told them that they were proud of them for winning against them, because not too many other teams had. So they also cams and JR told one of the other team players. Let’s do it again next year.!
