He was inspired to take up the sport seriously by coach Francisco Pavon. "He asked me what I wanted from football. I said I wanted to have fun and play as I didn't see football as something serious. Then he asked me, 'What if, instead of selling vegetables on a truck, you gave your parents a supermarket where they could sell them all?' That question was a turning point in my life. Since then I began seeing football as more than just a hobby." (diez.hn, 04 Apr 2021)

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
He was part of the Honduras squad at the 2019 U20 World Cup in Poland and was an unused substitute in the 12-0 loss to Norway, in which Erling Haaland scored nine goals. He said the defeat inspired him to improve as a player. "It will be complex to heal that wound and we will remain in history for it. It's difficult to make sense of what happened, at a time when nobody knew who Haaland was, but he worked hard to be what he is now. The truth is that game made me mature and improve, it was a teaching moment for me to do better. I will never forget it as it served as impetus to grow as a footballer and person." (diez.hn, 04 Apr 2021)

CLUB HISTORY
He joined Honduran club CDS Vida in 2016 and made his first team debut in September 2017. In 2019 he was loaned to Real Monarchs in the US United Soccer League Championship for one year, before returning to Vida. (diez.hn, 04 Apr 2021; transfermarkt.com, 01 Jan 2019)
