Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr. is gearing up for the World Cup with Brazil after his standout performance in the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League, where he secured the winning goal.
The young Brazilian talent is rapidly becoming a rising star in the soccer world. However, Vinicius believes that his achievements off the field are equally important, and he aims to make a positive impact on society, following in the footsteps of Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton and NBA legend LeBron James.
Education holds a special place in Vinicius’ heart. The Real Madrid star has actively contributed to building schools in underprivileged areas of his homeland and is supporting research initiatives to enhance the education system in Brazil. At just 22 years old, Vinicius draws inspiration from the philanthropic efforts of Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James, who use their influence to bring about positive change.
Expressing his admiration for Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James, Vinicius stated, “I feel a responsibility to do more for society. I see how Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James make a difference, and I aspire to do the same by assisting people in various ways.”
He went on to say, “Education is crucial because not everyone can pursue a career in sports. Many attempt it, but not everyone succeeds. That’s why I’m committed to helping the people of Brazil continue to grow and develop as individuals. With the right guidance, we can inspire more individuals to attend university, become doctors, professors, and ultimately, better contributors to society.”
