My older brother has always been my biggest inspiration. Growing up, I just wanted to follow his example, learn from him, and play alongside him. We simply loved the game, and enjoyed challenging each other to get better and better every day. As I progressed through my teenage years, I continued to develop both as a player and as a person, taking my game to the next level and eventually attracting the attention of professional club academies in Spain. Joining FC Barcelona’s academy was a turning point. Moving up from the U19s to the second team gave me my first experience of professional football and the privilege to share the locker room with top-level players and coaches. I would now love to help create an environment that gives young athletes the support and opportunities to grow, develop, and work hard toward their goals.
