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

William says he loves the teamwork and plays that they make at his practices, to play in the real game. His new friends are a big part of it and his love for soccer has grew abundantly.


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

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He grew up watching them on TV with his dad. Over the years, he has collected, toys, balls, and clothing with these two players names and faces all over it. As a lot of his kids his age have as well with these two players, Williams dream in life is because of these guys. Dad is also in the garden all the time with him, kicking the ball, and running scrimmages!


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

Just how far William has come. William at the beginning was shy, kept to himself, wasn’t a leader, nor a team player. Not that we pushed, but we didn’t give up. Now William is an amazing player, helpful, thoughtful, a leader, a friend, and an outstanding young boy who one day says, he wants to play professionally.
