WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT SOCCER?
With my whole family being Colombian, the passion for the sport has always been around, since my earliest memories I always had a ball with me at all times, I was fully fascinated, and mesmerized by this ball at such a young age. My first high level soccer club was in Jacksonville FL, Westside Soccer Club, we traveled all over northeast of the United States playing and competing at the highest U11 level available.

in 2018 after moving to Atlanta and trying multiple clubs i finally made it to NASA Tophat. At this club i saw the growth in my soccer abilities but also learned what it would take to be a professional. Our coach took us all the way to win regional and go on to take second place at nationals in Colorado. Learned to not only love the game, but love the process.
in 2021 i got an offer from a team in mexico city after, seeing some of my footage they offered to give me housing and a position on a semiprofessional team, so at 17 years old i decided to leave and chase my dreams. I worked really hard, 2 sessions a day, gym, diet every day i was in my prime. I trained with multiple ex pros and was the youngest on my team. After earning my spot on the first team I debuted with 12 mins left in the game and actually scored on my debut.
in 2022 Futbol Base International became my home in Barcelona (SPAIN). I had never lived in such a heavy soccer culture and talent, the average player was great, if you weren't breathing, eating, and living soccer you just weren't going to compete and man I loved this. Every moment on the field you're fighting for a spot on the team. After 6 months of trying out for several teams such as Girona, Vic Esportia, and CD Llosetense I tore my groin and decided to come back to Florida. Im here sharing my knowledge and taking talent to the next level.
