…Favorite position on the soccer field
“I currently play as a defender for the National team and as a forward for the Academy team. My favorite position would be attacking mid center, I have the ability to see the field well and I love to score goals.”
…Favorite soccer player worldwide
“Neymar de Silva Santos Junior (AKA Neymar or NEymar Jr.) and Steven Gerrard”
…IMG Academies effects on his game
“The facilities here are unmatched, along with competition here being very challenging on a day to day basis. Getting touches everyday and being surrounded by the talent here has really stepped my game up. With focus on different areas of training like physical conditioning, mental training, vision training and nutrition, it really does focus on the TOTAL ATHLETE. I have never experienced these different aspects of training.”

“I just pray and thank God for the opportunity to have another day to play soccer.”
