Nickname Background:
There’s a famous superhero from Mexico, his name is Chapolin - it’s a grasshopper. I was nicknamed that by a coach who noticed I was struggling to do things correctly. I would shoot a jab instead of a kick or do different things, but for Chapolin – he would do the wrong things, but in the end, he would help people and do the right thing. I would win, but the wrong way to do it, so my coach related me to Chapolin since I find a way to figure it out. It’s a fun name I’ve had my whole career.
