At Juan Martinez Soccer (JMS), we don’t just focus on building great players—we focus on building great people. And that starts with a philosophy we live by: "Empty the Bucket." It’s more than just a motto; it’s a mindset that encourages us to give everything we have in the pursuit of our dreams, no matter how many times we’ve been knocked down. Life is about second chances, and at JMS, we believe it’s never too late to empty your bucket and go after what you’ve always envisioned.

The Power of Second Chances: Why "Empty the Bucket" Matters

Everyone has faced setbacks in life—whether in sports, career, or personal growth. I know I have. I was knocked down, but I wasn’t out. There were moments when I wondered if I could ever get back on track, but it’s in those very moments of doubt that I realized the importance of a second chance.

"Empty the bucket" is a reminder that no matter how many times we face defeat, there’s always another opportunity to rise, to chase what we’ve dreamed of, and to pursue our passions with everything we’ve got. It’s about taking everything we’ve learned, all the hard work we’ve put in, and giving it one last push—emptying that bucket until there’s nothing left but the fulfillment of our potential.

At JMS, this philosophy extends to every player, coach, and individual we work with. It's about embracing the challenges we face, learning from them, and using them as fuel to keep moving forward. Every training session, every practice, every game—it’s a chance to empty the bucket, to push further than you thought possible.

From Setbacks to Comebacks: The Journey to Where We Are Now

If you’d told me years ago that I’d be doing what I’m doing now, I never would’ve believed it. But here I am, with a renewed sense of purpose, ready to make the most of every opportunity that comes my way.

Just like in soccer, life doesn’t always go according to plan. We all face hurdles that seem insurmountable at the time. But with "empty the bucket", we learn that it’s not about avoiding failure—it’s about how we bounce back. Whether it’s on the field or in life, every setback is a lesson, and every lesson is an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

I’ve faced those tough moments. I’ve had to fight through doubt, uncertainty, and fear. But I can confidently say that those moments led me here. They made me stronger. And now, I’m ready to help others embrace their second chances and chase their dreams—just as I did.
