Marcos Sotarello

IDA Class of 2021/2022

"In the Academy, they develop you as a person in real life, not only as a player. IDA mentally prepares you. Being away from home has already made me more independent and mature as a person."

Jean Janecki

IDA Parent of Marcos Sotarello

"Ever since he was little, this has been his dream, to be able to play in Europe and become a professional. He's finding those paths"
