There are days when Bento Estrela is super tired after training at Red Bulls Training Facility, but his mother Maria Estrela convinces him to attend an art event going on in New Jersey. Estrela tries to find different ways to inculcate her passion for art into her son.
“I bring him to many events, like art events just for kids, we go to festivals, exhibits. After soccer, we will go to those events even though he’s super tired, but I’m always like we need to go and see this because this is important,” said Estrela. “And I think going there and being exposed to those things got him a little bit more creative with soccer and what he does because he's been exposed to so many different things in his life.
