What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreThe thing I love most about playing soccer is that it makes me feel free and gives me excitement. I can learn new things and practice everything I know, make new friends and be part of a team.
I get inspired by my father because he almost made it to the big leagues, by starting from nothing. And I see that as, “if he could do it, i could too”
For me as his mom and biggest fan, The proudest moment is not when he scored of when his team won a tournament, I feel proud when he was a leader. When they lost but he was pushing his team until the end, when he wasn't giving up even when the circumstances weren't in their favor. I am proud of his attitude, tenacity, discipline, responsibility, and respect for his opponents, teammates and coaches.
