Nyle

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

Well first off a soccerball was the first ball he has ever played with, he obsessed with watching all levels of the sport. He loves how it challenges him mentally and physically.The mechanics of the game and how it feels when he hears that ball hits the back net. He loves the different skills that are in soccer and the precision that comes with every move he makes. Its his outlet where he can be himself and shine in all of our eyes and his own.

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

His family, his coach, and teammates, they are complimenting with his skills, but are also supportive with always trying to help him improve to become the best he can be. Erland Holland, Messi, Christian roldan and others inspires him with how much love and passion they play when there on the pitch. Hes sees himself in their image at times and we have witnessed our son Nyle come to tears of joy when they are playing because he knows he will be out there one day with his heros.

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

As parents, just watching him exute passion for this sport, its electric! Its like we can feel his passion when he's on the pitch, he never fails to amaze us. Its the one thing in life we know he loves and will never quit, he constantly educates himself with everything "soccer", to watching his idols internationally, and the time outside of his club training, he just wants to be inside or outside with a ball at his feet. Watching do what he loves, makes us prouder than anything. He dont give up.
