International Soccer & Futsal Experience in Brazil — With Lily from Oregon

This past month, I had the incredible opportunity to host an international soccer and futsal camp in Brazil with Lily, a youth player from Oregon. Her parents wanted to spend a month in Brazil — and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be.

For any young athlete, experiencing soccer and futsal in another country is one of the most powerful ways to grow. Being immersed in a new culture allows players to learn from different coaching styles, compete with talented local athletes, and understand how professionals approach the game with discipline, passion, and creativity. It’s not just about training — it’s about living soccer in its purest form.

⚽ What Makes My Soccer & Futsal Camps in Brazil Different

The difference in the international exchanges I design is that every detail is personalized to meet the player’s short, medium, and long-term goals. Each camp includes a structured plan of training sessions, mentoring, and educational experiences tailored to the athlete’s specific needs — whether it’s improving technical skills, building confidence, or learning how to manage the demands of a high-performance environment.

As a coach, it’s incredibly rewarding to create a safe and supportive environment where players can challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zone, and grow both on and off the field. Watching Lily adapt, learn, and embrace every part of the experience reminded me why I love what I do.

🌟 Beyond the Field: Learning the Professional Athlete Lifestyle

During the camp, I also promote opportunities for athletes to understand what a professional player’s life really looks like — the routines, responsibilities, and mindset that come with pursuing a career in sports.

We include experiences such as:

• Media training sessions, helping athletes learn how to communicate confidently and professionally.

• A guided tour of the iconic “Museu do Futebol” (Football Museum) in São Paulo, where players connect with the history and emotion behind the world’s most beloved sport.

• A visit to the headquarters of one of the biggest sports brands in the world, located in Brazil — a truly inspiring look into how sports, business, and innovation connect.

• Watching a professional match in a legendary stadium, giving athletes the chance to feel the passion of Brazilian fans and the intensity of top-level competition.

These experiences go far beyond the pitch — they help young athletes see what’s possible, build global perspective, and gain tools that will serve them for life.
