I am also a professional soccer player. This is my other passion. I grew up playing soccer, but I was never the prodigy. I got rejected constantly. I didn’t make the A team where all my friends were. I didn’t make the B team. I didn’t even make the C team. I was told to play “for fun” and ended up in intramurals while everyone else moved on. And somehow, my ten-year-old self didn’t care. I kept showing up. I kept training. I kept believing that time and work would eventually close the gap. Years later, it did. I’m now the captain at Inter Miami CF, the top goal scorer, and the top assister. Soccer taught me resilience before I ever learned business. It taught me how to take rejection, outwork doubt, and turn patience into results. That mindset is still how I operate today, on and off the field.
