“A lot of what happened this year goes back to my 3 words about Big Fishel Energy. Strength. Confidence. Empowerment. This year has not been close to easy, but I found strength in my family, friends, and teammates to get me through. The confidence came from practicing, playing, and getting used to the style of play in Mexico. Finally, the responsibility to grow as a player on the field and the passionate fans of Tigres empowered me to never settle. 2022 was all about never settling, and it led me to being the top goalscorer in the world. Excited for what’s to come because I will never settle.”
