I try to mold my game after his. Ronaldo’s attacking threat is bar none, he is in my opinion the best player to ever grace the field.

I try to use his skills and moves in my own game.” Do you have an idol or hero? “My brother Ernest.” Why Yale? “When I walked on campus, I automatically felt at home; Yale’s environment and the friendliness of the people on campus are bar none. Also, I believe that the coaching staff is a fantastic group of coaches who have great soccer knowledge, and this will make me feel very comfortable playing under them.”

He must have graduated already. The kid is pretty smart to graduate from Yale University one of the most prestigious and competitive universities in the world.
I wonder if he will ever turn pro considering his academic credentials and family background.
He must be really committed to the sport and to the Philippine national football team to even consider playing after graduating from college.

Winhoffer grew up in the Philippine youth system.
He learned the basics of football while studying at the prestigious International School Manila. There, he scored 30 goals and provided 46 assists in 46 matches; and was the most valuable player in the Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian Schools during his junior year.
He then had a successful college stint with Yale University in the United States, and even had a short stint with Global.
“I think we’re all teammates here.
“I bring the mentality of trying to bring everyone together and I’m just here to do my job I know I’m a youngster so I do extra work, trying to make everyone around me better, and hopefully at the end of the day the coaches and the players can see that and hopefully I can get some minutes and start some games over the next coming games or over the next couple of years,” said the 22-year-old Winhoffer.
Winhoffer last played for the Philippines in the 2016 AFF U-19 Youth Championship under coach Dan Padernal.
Representing the country at the highest level is a different animal, though, but training with seniors such as Stephan Schrock and Angel Guirado makes the process more fulfilling.
“I grew up watching a lot of them and thinking of (that) I belong there someday, and I’m pretty cocky myself. I think when I step on the field, I think I should be the best player. But sometimes it doesn’t work that way, but that’s the mentality you gotta have when you step on the field,” Winhoffer admitted.
“Confidence is very key, but yeah… You know Angel (Guirado) has been very very nice to me. He always pushes me to be better, he knows that I can do better. Same with Schrocky, Marky (Hartmann).
“They always push me to be better because they can see talent in the young guys, and they don’t want you to stop and accept that you’re a youngster. They want you to become better, to push them to new limits that they can. So it’s been a very fruitful experience for myself, and I know Jarvey and some other youngsters feel the same way.”
“I think we’re very prepared. Our leadership group, the older guys, have stressed the importance of the Azkals and what it means to them. And I think for all the new guys coming in — I think there’s a decent amount of first-timers in the camp… We feel that from them, and as young guys we respect our elders a lot, and they’ve put on the show for us that the Azkals has done them so much great over the past 10, 15, 20 years,” said Winhoffer.
“Now, it’s our duty to help them achieve their goals before they retire, and hopefully bring the country to new territories that we haven’t experienced as a footballing nation.”
