Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My greatest soccer memory came in an international tournament we played with SS Lazio in Sardinia in 2018! As the team’s captain, I helped my team reach the final where we lost against Real Madrid. Before that we won against teams such as Genoa, PSG, and Atalanta Bergamo. During that tournament I played as midfielder and I felt like I played very well through out the tournament. The year before, also playing with SS Lazio, we reached the final of a national tournament. We played against Inter Milan and another Tuscan team with players older than us. The tournament took place at Italian National Football Team Center in Coverciano. That was another great experience for me as we got to stay and practice in the same facilities where the Italian National Team is usually stays and trains.
Goals:
I would love to continue my studies in a stimulating and motivating environment such as a top US college, where I would find my preferred academic courses and where I could continue my dream to become a very good professional soccer player.
Anything else we should know?
I have always done a lot of different sports. I am also a good swimmer and skier as well. I also play golf and tennis. In addition to weekly soccer trainings, I also train twice per week with a personal trainer to improve my overall athletic performance.
