I believe that the experience I have cultivated through beach soccer should not be confined to the sport itself, but should be shaped into something greater in a wider field, by combining it with BEAMS International's culture. My strength, honed through beach soccer, is the ability to constantly make decisions in an ever-changing environment, such as sand conditions and wind.
