My name is Sean and I am an aspiring professional soccer player. Here is my story.
I have been playing soccer since I was 3. I play for the Raiders competitive travel soccer team and there’s nothing else I’d rather do than play soccer!
Recently, I was approached by scouts at an Orlando tournament. They were from a training academy in Granada, Spain where serious players are trained by the best coaches from around the world. They only accept 18 players (14-18 years old) per session worldwide!
They watched a few of my games and asked us to come speak to them at the end. They shared extensive information about their academy, training schedule, school options and success rates. I shared my daily workouts, training routine and goal to be a professional soccer player. They offered me a spot in their next 3 month program starting Jan 4th. Since then, I’ve shared game clips, my training videos and have kept in constant communication. We are now ready to take the next step.
I'm trying to raise $12,400 to get myself and a family member to the program that starts Jan 4th! Please consider donating if you are able or help by sharing my story!
For more information, contact my Mom, Jessica Tonzola
