Greatest thrill in sports to date was the Inaugural season at InterMiami Academy, his team played against FC Barcelona Academy at IMG for the International Champions Cup Futures. The tourney was on ESPN and a large contingent of InterMiami's organized supporters/fans called "La Familia" were there chanting/singing with drums, pink & black smoke, flags & banners—felt like the prelude to the pro soccer career he dreamed of since childhood.
