PERSONAL:
Born on December 27 ... parents are Francisco Diegues and Daniela de Camargo ... has four siblings, Luiza, Lucas, Joao Pedro and Arthur ... transferred from Dominican University ... dean's list ... chose Goshen "because it’s a Christ-following college with a strong sense of community - something that’s very important to me. From the beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, especially by the coaches who consistently went above and beyond, checking in on me not just as an athlete, but as a person. Goshen also felt like a place where my family could feel welcomed and supported, making it more than just a college — but a place we could all call home" ... most admires Jesus Christ "for the way He lived, for the mark He left on humanity for generations, and for being the path to salvation and eternal life. His example is the foundation of how I try to live: with purpose, love, and faith. When it comes to people in my personal life, I truly cannot choose just one. Every member of my family has shown me different kinds of strength—through their sacrifices, resilience, and the way they never gave up, even during the most difficult times in their lives and mine. However right now, the most important person to me is my wife, the love of my life, Ana who support me in every moment. She is an incredible partner who's with me on this journey" ... little-known personal fact is "I manage my entire life through a custom Notion template I built from scratch - and I treat movies like sacred experiences. Both keep me inspired in very different ways. Movies, to me, is one of the most powerful ways to reflect on life and emotion" ... best athletic moment "was during a local game in Brazil. It was a quarterfinal but it meant everything to me because it was the only time all the members of my family came to watch me play. I scored the first goal, and our team won, advancing to the semifinals. The atmosphere, the presence of my loved ones, and the impact of that moment made it unforgettable"
