Manuel Morales

"Playing college soccer in the U.S. has pushed me to another level, not just physically, but mentally. The intensity here is high. Every training, every game, you give 100%, and you feel the pressure to perform, but in the best way. It keeps you sharp.

What I love most is being part of a team where everyone is chasing the same goal, both on the field and in class. That competitive environment, combined with a real education, is something I couldn’t have found back home.

Coming to Manhattanville was a big change, but it’s made me stronger, more focused, and more motivated than ever. I wouldn’t trade this opportunity for anything."
