Football

Football has always been a part of my life. I was 7 years old when my father first taught me how to kick the ball. From then, football became my favourite hobby and I also played for school teams and participated in competitions.

Football means much more than just a leisure activity for me. It has delivered meaningful life lessons and valuable friendships to my life. Most importantly, football helped in developing my life values: Effort, Teamwork, Communication.

My football idol is Ronaldinho Gaucho. And currently I am supporting Tottenham Spurs. COYS!

Music

I love music. Discover what's trending in my library!
