Gerardo's Story

My passion is family and soccer..

I discovered this passion by paying attention to my family and appreciating them for everything they did for me. The minor things they can do sometimes results in lasting memories. I discovered my passion for soccer when I play the game and when I'm done, I just can't get enough. The higher the level the more inspired I am to get better. When I watch a soccer game I can feel the passion for every shot, play, and of course goals. These two things are the motivators for my life.

Attending Nike Soccer Camp will definitely open me the doors to a better soccer career and will show me if I am up to the challenge to become a professional soccer player. It can show me the lives and the trainings that professionals have on a daily basis. I can become a better player by learning new moves and getting more physical endurance. This camp will help me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Every training session I will give my best to get out the best of me on the pitch.

A big obstacle in my life has been myself when talking in soccer terms. I know I can give more and that is why coaches didn't accept me in an important soccer program. The way that I am preparing myself is training harder each time and thinking twice if I don't fell like going to practice by myself. I do extra trainings at home and if I know I have an important soccer occasion I will work extra hard to be better prepared for it. Next time I have a chance, it won't escape so easily.
