Welcome to Tristan Borges' first appearance on Mac’s Access! Today, Mackenzie and Borges dive into everything from his early soccer days and his time in Belgium to his favourite Portuguese traditions. Borges also shares insights on his accelerated maturity, personal growth, and the crucial role of mental strength in his performance on the field.

Key Takeaways:

Borges is a big advocate for mental strength improving physical performance.

Moving overseas in 2016 broadened Borges' perspective on pursuing a professional football career.

Tristan believes he has always been mature and confident, a necessity due to the experiences he gained at a young age.

Tristan went on trials in Portugal when he was 15. He received an offer but decided not go at the last minute.
