"Every great journey starts with a single step" My love for this beautiful game was born on the pitch. It's a hunger that I have lovingly nurtured for more than a decade, by playing soccer at the Nationals twice. The excitement of a perfect pass, the joy of a scrumptious finish, the agony of a missed penalty kick - these moments shaped me in ways that I would never have previously imagined. From debates and quizzes back in my school days to countless hours immersed in FIFA video games, my journey has contributed heavily in developing my understanding of the world of soccer. These experiences have, in turn, have laid a foundation for my current role as a soccer writer at EssentiallySports. While my heart beats for Arsenal, a passion that began in my early years, I've stood composed (only with time) through the turbulent highs and lows of the life of a Gunners fan. In fact, it was the mesmerizing partnership of Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez that truly stood out to me. Beyond the beautiful game, I find solace in the world of documentaries and the thrill of exploring new horizons through travel. But writing about the beautiful game remains at the core of my heart. My lifelong fandom informs my coverage, as I transform personal experiences into insightful stories
