Ronald's Story

My passion is soccer, and it has been a part of me my entire life. It's part of my culture as a Spaniard and an Ecuadorian. When I was a little boy in Spain, I remember going to the local park and seeing others playing soccer. I always told my parents that I wanted to play and they took me to he park to kick the ball around. Also the area that I lived in with my parents, was near the Santiago Bernabeu. On game days, we used to sit down on the couch to watch the game and we were able to hear the fans chanting and screaming. I'd get ready by putting on my Real Madrid jersey and get a snack for the game. To this day I continue this tradition with my family and sometimes with my friends.

Attending Red Bull New York Residential Soccer Camp will help me pursue my passion, as well as continuing to learn and to meet new people who share the same passion as I do. This summer, I'll be able to perfect and master my skills as I prepare to participate in stronger and more competitive teams. This opportunity will allow me to do my best while showcasing and improving my skills. I will do my best and take advantage of this amazing opportunity.
