I began playing soccer at the age of six, and from the very beginning I knew the game meant more to me than just playing on the field. While I loved soccer, I always felt different from other players, and that feeling led me to goalkeeping. Wearing a different uniform, training in a specialized way, and having the ability to use my hands made the position feel natural to me. I embraced the responsibility of being the last line of defense and took pride in stopping strikers and protecting my team’s chance to win, which is what made me fall in love with the position.
I started my journey in recreational soccer until the age of seven, when I joined AC Milan Academy. At age nine, I moved to Manchester Academy, where I played until I was eleven and continued to develop as a goalkeeper. Throughout much of this time, however, I did not have a dedicated goalkeeper trainer. There were very few goalkeeper coaches available, and those who were accessible often charged an arm and a leg, making specialized training difficult to obtain. Despite this, I went on to play for Pumas Academia from ages eleven to twelve and later for Club Athletic, learning through experience, observation, and self-discipline while adapting to different competitive environments.
During my high school years, I returned to Manchester Academy and continued to refine my skills and grow as a player. After high school, I took some time away from the game, but my passion for soccer never faded. Reflecting on my journey, I realized I had a calling not only to play the position, but to help other goalkeepers receive proper, high-quality training without the financial burden I once faced. My goal is to make goalkeeper training affordable and accessible, ensuring that any goalkeeper who wants to develop their skills has the opportunity to do so, regardless of cost.
