Let’s Get to Know a Little More about Bronx:
Why do you play football ?
I started to play football because I lived in Puerto Rico my whole life and I always looked for a sport that involves some type of aggression and football was the best fit for me. Also, since I was little my dad always told me about football so when I got here to the states and joined Valley West, the first thing I did was to go to a football game with my cousins. When I saw the teams play, I jokingly told my cousin that if I ever joined football, I would be the best on the field and he told me that I would never even touch the field and that I would never be good. So I took that as a challenge and that motivated me to train hard to prove them wrong.
