Football has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It is where I learned discipline, focus and how to work for something over time.

I spent most of my free time on the pitch, training, losing, winning and trying again, and it gave me chances that few players have: I played in the Real Madrid academy in Colombia, later in the Honor Division in Madrid, and with my school team I was chosen Best Player of the Season as top scorer. These experiences made me more mature and taught me how to handle pressure, accept mistakes and still move forward. They also showed me the value of repetition, patience and pushing myself. What stayed with me was not only the titles but the work behind them: early training, long days and not giving up when things were hard.

Today I use the same mindset in my studies and projects. When I face a new task or challenge, I think like I do on the pitch: prepare well, stay calm, give my best and learn from the result.
