IN MY WORDS: Brazilian-American Midfielder Luis Felipe

I have moved around so much in my life, starting when I was really young. I was born in New York and I moved to Brazil when I was 3 years old. My parents, Regina and Dio, came to the U.S. to work and try for a better life than in Brazil. I had a lot of issues with the weather health wise, it got really cold there, so my parents decided to move back.

My family lives in a small city called Ouro Branco. Growing up, my life was all about soccer. I have played soccer since I was 5 years old.
