00:00 Well I came from Enterprise, Segonas. That's where I grew up. A little community. They're known for bad stuff but there's a lot of good coming out from it.
00:12 And me coming out from that community, I want to be a beacon for the youths. Give them hope and show them that there are other ways out.
00:20 Andre Reiman has proved that there are other ways out as the 23-year-old versatile defender is spying his trade as a professional in Portugal with a four-division side via the Portuguese.
00:30 A move that he says was critical to his development.
00:33 Portugal is known for their developing. And when I went there, it opened my eyes. I was really underdeveloped as a player.
00:42 And I grew drastically as a player. Tactically, physically, mentally. It's been a great journey for me so far.
00:51 He ought to credit his parents for where he is today.
00:54 My dad is an ex-soldier. He's now a police officer. My mum is a teacher in secondary school. She teaches A-level in Segonas North Secondary.
01:03 They are also football coaches. They've always wanted the best. I have five siblings. I'm the oldest.
01:12 They always put pressure on me to set the example. I always have to do the right thing because my younger brother is watching me.
01:21 As parents, they were really strict. But I thank God for that now because in this world, you see how it is.
01:29 I appreciate having strict parents and making sure I'm always doing the right thing.
01:34 As for Saturday's all-important playing match against Canada, Andrew Raymond is only focused on winning.
01:39 My mind is victory. That's what's in my mind. Teamwork, hard work, persistence, spirit, heart.
01:47 All those things we have to show on Saturday. I think we're prepared to show all that.
