She’s been working so hard. I’ve been pushing her so much. She cries she complains. But I see a very bright and brilliant little girl.

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What I love most about soccer is playing with my teammates, having fun, and being on the field. I love learning new skills, getting better, and working together as a team. I also love making new friends and having fun while playing the game I love.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My biggest inspiration is my family because they always support me and encourage me to keep going, even when things get hard. My coaches and teammates also inspire me to work harder, improve my skills, and always do my best on and off the field.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One moment that makes me most proud is seeing Natalia continue to work hard and never give up, even when things don’t go her way. Watching her grow in confidence, support her teammates, and keep improving every game makes me proud to be her dad.
