ABOUT

POSITION: Midfielder


OVERALL ABILITY ON THE FIELD:
Among my strengths in the field, three stand out. First, my decision-making under pressure consistently sets me apart. I’m able to scan, identify passing lanes, and connect with teammates to help maintain possession and accelerate our attack. Second, I approach the game with an analytical mindset, allowing me to anticipate play, break lines with accurate passes, and create scoring opportunities for our forwards. Finally, I have a strong technical ability — close control, efficient dribbling, and precise distribution — that enables me to operate effectively in tight spaces. I also contribute defensively by recovering the ball in midfield, breaking up counterattacks, and helping stabilize our team’s shape.

STRENGTHS ON THE FIELD:
I possess game intelligence as I can process the game quickly, make the right choices under pressure, and use my vision to move the ball efficiently. This shows maturity and composure for a U17 player.

Another of my strengths is my analytical understanding of the game, which allows me to anticipate movements from rivals and teammates and contribute directly to the team’s attacking flow or defensive strategy. I can break lines with accurate passes and consistently create chances for forwards.

Also, I have strong ball control, which allows me to play confidently in midfield and exhibit strong technical quality in tight spaces. Finally, I contribute both offensively and defensively as I can track back, recover the ball, and break up counters.

RESUME:
I began my career as a soccer player in the Gato Pérez Academy when I was 4 years old in 2012. Then, I moved to the USA and played for FC West Lake in Austin, Texas, from 2013 to 2016. When I returned to Colombia in 2016, I joined Dihnos Soccer Academy, where I played for 4 years and competed at the highest level in Bogotá. From 2019 to 2020, I played for Barca Academy in Colombia. Post-pandemic, I played for Juventus Academy and played in the U-13 National tournament. After my time at Juventus, I played for Millonarios FC, one of Colombia's most important soccer teams, for 2 years. Since 2024, I have been competing with B&O Embajadores as a midfielder and have won the Bogotá League multiple times across the U-17, U-18, and U-20 categories.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST
In my free time, when I am not training or studying, I love to play golf and ping-pong with my friends. I also like learning about history by watching videos and documentaries. I also enjoy playing video games, though my favorite hobby is listening to music and discovering different genres. Finally, I also take an interest in politics and global news that impact the world. 

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON
I am a very disciplined person who likes to achieve goals and enjoys hard work. I would also describe myself as very passionate about everything I do. I think one of the qualities that best characterizes me is my humility and kindness, which make me resilient in the face of adversity. I am always willing to help others, and I am particularly sympathetic and empathetic toward people on and off the soccer field. One of my strengths is my international experience and global perspective, as I lived in the US for 3 years during elementary school and have gained international exposure through my travels.
