The extraordinary athlete of African origin, who triumphed as a soccer player, Saprissa (CR), San Carlos (CR) and soccer in the United States (NASL and NPSL) minor leagues. He settled in Atlanta 8 months before traveling to play in Brazil. However, longing for his passion for the city and soccer . He dreamed of returning and meeting with his friends, with the fans (Silverbacks) who recognized him in the street and congratulated him for his successes, with the city where he had become a player.

The illusion that those kids awakened in that man was predestined for something big. Not only did he help them with the equipment they needed; he also got involved in their education and helped the neediest ones so that they would not drop out of school or school. He was almost a second father with whom many would get to know the country in unforgettable excursions.

Joao's little school - as the people called them - was a spectacle that went around the seven corners and was the center of attention. Nobody wanted to miss the soccer of those brats capable of beating and even beating the youth teams in the communities they visited on weekends. It was a party that would even force the suspension of more than one NPSL game because the JOAO SCHOOLS played in the silverbacks.

Their consolidation came with triumphs, but, especially, from understanding the game as a spectacle that requires always giving more. This pact with the ball defined a style and an identity that over the years consolidated the institution as the most successful team in the city, generating male nationally.
