Ford Que Golazo de Grants 2024
It is a grant given by Ford Latino and Alianza de Futbol to selected Hispanic Soccer Players. I won it in San Antonio at the 2024 Copita Alianza, Out of a very large quantity of participants I was selected to win it. We were all given a prompt and we had to make a video responding to that prompt. I made a simple video responding to the way God has used soccer to impact my life so much, and how I use it to make a positive impact on my community through coaching kids. As well as leading and mentoring them to develop not only into soccer players but more importantly into good, honorable, respectful, patient, and kind hearted people! Ford Latino and Alianza de Futbol saw that response and God really just allowed me to fall into grace and favor before their eyes and I received the grant!
