Alain is a Champ in eighth grade and lives with the same passion he brings to a soccer field. Since the age of three, sports became an important part of his life, and over time that enthusiasm grew into a big dream: to become a professional soccer player.
His family has been one of his greatest sources of support. Every day they support him in his academic and personal growth, encouraging him to keep going and to never stop believing in himself. For them, education has always been a fundamental tool for building a better future.
However, the path was not always easy. His family went through financial hardships, and finding an alternative that would give him access to world-class education was a major challenge. Even so, they never stopped looking for opportunities that could drive Alain's talent and potential forward.
It was through the director of his sports club that they learned about Perú Champs. Alain decided to apply for an Perú Champs scholarship, and when they received the news that he had been selected, the joy was overwhelming for the entire family. That opportunity meant much more than a scholarship — it was the chance to keep growing both academically and in sports.
Today, Alain has been part of Perú Champs for two years and studies at Innova Schools, where he has strengthened skills that once challenged him, especially in areas like English and communication. He has also developed greater commitment, responsibility, and self-confidence — changes his family recognizes with pride.
Alain currently continues training at Club Sport Boys while advancing in his studies. For him, both goals go hand in hand, because he understands that discipline and hard work are essential for achieving his dreams.
Alain is deeply grateful for the support he has received. He knows that the opportunity he found in Perú Champs has allowed him to keep building his future without setting aside what he loves most. His story is a reflection of how talent, when it finds an opportunity, can grow and transform. It is also a reminder that behind every child with big dreams, there is a family that believes in them and a community ready to walk alongside them.
