SOCIAL CAUSE

I founded Midas Football Academy in Houston Texas in April 2023 as a social cause aimed at giving underprivileged children who haven’t had the ordinary opportunities to be part of something that offers hope and allows dreams to come into their lives. Giving them a chance to focus on something outside their regular lives regardless of race, age, and sex.

The mission of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is to use soccer and vocational education as tools to mentor children and teenagers in Houston and the Houston Metropolitan Area from becoming at-risk youth.

The organization has two programs, Rising Stars and Crossing Bridges, to reach every individual looking for inspiration and mentorship in their lives. This is done by developing their life skills and social skills which can be interconnected with sports skills to succeed in life. Just as in life you have to have dedication determination and adaptability.

Kids interested in developing their soccer skills will be given the chance to learn the game and use their youthful energy towards something meaningful and productive, like the great Mohamed Ali who rose from almost nothing to cement his place as a hero for millions of other people across the world using his skill as a boxer and his voice as a messenger of hope and believe.

Midas Football Academy hopes to help every child looking for a chance and opportunity to find their life purpose.

As someone who is deeply passionate about teenagers and young adults and the importance of them finding a purpose early in life, my personal mantra is Be Ashamed to Die Until You have Scored some Victory for Humanity, for me, the best way to do something of magnitude for humanity is to share my knowledge, experience, and failures with the younger generation through my work as a leadership coach, soccer administrator, and criminal justice advocacy.

I believe this social cause will help to raise and shape the next generation of leaders in sports, politics, entertainment as well as other important spheres of life and reduce the rate of youth crime, drug abuse, and depression among our youths.
