and to close opportunity gaps. The vision of the soccer program started with my father. A Brazilian
immigrant, a former professional soccer player and a master educator of the beautiful game who spent
countless hours with Nashua’s youth. It was he who truly raised me to believe that it didn’t matter where
you were from, how much money you had or your gender. Anybody could and deserved to play the
beautiful game, and to never give up on a goal. Thank you very much.
