"Pocholo" is a Great soccer player and tells us his story:

I'm Jhon, I come from Charco, Nariño, since I was 2 years old I like soccer, thanks to my uncle who supported me so that football is my passion, my paternal grandfather called me "Pocholo", he thought I was going to be a great player.
When we went to Medellin at the age of 4, my mother enrolled me in a team called "great dreamers", where they teach us that any child can fulfill the dream he always has and more when working with discipline to reach it. In this sport I have met two people who have marked my life positively, One is Leonel Messi who through good treatment and example, has strengthened my ability and confidence, and also my coach "Coca" who has stressed to me the importance of self-control and respect for the whole team, which has led me to become not only a good player, but currently the captain of the team, which has filled me with immense joys and has kept me from situations that do not contribute to my personal growth.
Finally, I must thank soccer not only that I am forming to become what I want, which is to be a professional footballer, but to have introduced myself to those who today, are more than my partners of passion, since for me they are my brothers.
I am also part of the micro team of Externado Corporación Superarse, we participate in the "Tournament of Friendship" where in addition to the sport we are inculcated values and healthy coexistence, I thank the Corporation and all the people and companies that support us .
