==== Have you ever wounder how Messi went pro. Let me start from the begging. He was born and raised in central Argentina. At a young age, he was diagnosed with a hormone deficiency that would severely stunt his growth if left uncured which will cause him stay shorter than he was supposed to be. As a young boy Messi would tag along with his two older brothers to play soccer with their friends, unintimidated by the bigger boys. At the age 8, he was a recruit for his hometown club team’s youth system. His parents hoped that his skills will pitch in to help them pay for outrageous price for the growth-hormone injections. But Argentina’s richest teams refused to take on the cost. Then, at the age of 13, FC Barcelona reach out to him and pitch him a deal that will help him. After he took his tryout for the youth academy, the organization not only offered to extend a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the teen by signing him up, but it also offered to foot his medical bills. if he was willing to move to start a new life in Spain. His family moved with the young player to Europe and he starred in the club’s youth teams. He soon found himself starting on Barcelona B team.====

Three years later he made his first professional appearance for the first-team called Barcelona C team. Less than a year later, he became the youngest player ever to score a goal in the Spanish League. A year later he was on the Barcelona B team and the next year after that he was on the real Barcelona team. Thats pretty amazing that each year he would go up a team. Messi record for being being the youngest player to score a goal has been broken already. At the age of 20, the soccer community gave him the nicknamed “The Flea,” one of the best in the world. Messi eventually grew to five feet and seven inches, and with his short stature, speed, and relentless attacking style, he drew comparisons to another famous Argentinean footballer: Diego Maradona. Messi was called Diego Maradona successor because of his prolific goal scoring record and ability to dribble past opponents . Through out the years Messi has been recognized.

Once Messi had been recognized by global brands they wanted to sponsor him. Messi face for global brands like Pepsi and Adidas, he’s decided to use some of them to his advantage and put it to use. Messi has been sponsored by Pepsi, Gillette, Turkish Airlines, and Samsung, as well as Electornic Arts (EA) who has put him on the cover of multiple FIFA games. Together, he earns about five to eight million dollars a year from these companies. In 2007, he founded the Leo Messi Foundation to help disadvantaged youths with educational and medical needs. He has also donated vast amounts to the renovation of children’s hospitals in his native country, Argentina. You also rarely see professional or famous people having charity or help poor children with illness or education. Messi currently gets paid 40,000,000 ERUS. He pays 4,500,000 towards his charity.

==== Lionel Messi has transform the sport soccer and inspiring kids that have illness or not. You also rarely see professional or famous people having charity or helping poor children with illness or education. Messi charity might not be helping young children in the U.S.A. but he has inspired young people with diagnosed with whatever illness they to help them. Although soccer saved him in many respects, Messi understands that not all are blessed with his prodigious talents. He now uses the sport that gave him a new lease on life to better the future of those less fortunate. Messi might not be impact USA but he is a impact towards me cause i was diagnosed with a hormone deficiency. ====
