Bio
Hello, Olá, Hola, Bonjour and Ciao.
My name is Joāo Pedro Cardoso, but you can call me JP.
Initially I was born in Brazil.
However, during both my childhood and teenagehood up until now, I have traveled to many different countries and learned to speak different languages and experience different cultures at the same time .
When I was 4 years old, I moved from Brazil to the UK to learn the alphabet and the English language.
Going a few years forward, at 7 years old I moved from the UK back to Brazil to study in a British School to enrich my English skills and also add two more languages to my knowledge which were French and Spanish.
I would eventually leave the school in June of 2016, on my way to little Portugal to finish my high school journey there in 2021.
Amidst a global pandemic which led me to the present day embarking on that Douglas DC 3 plane to eventually land on my dream to enter the Sportscasting industry.
One might ask me after such a long story, why do you desire this kind of industry?
Being born in a country like Brazil and a continent like Latin America, in which a passion for sports is so intense.
It makes this the obvious reason why I would go for this industry especially through soccer, which mainly in Brazil and Europe I have witnessed in such an intense and electrifying way.

The values that I possess to be able to give my best help to the industry are many. As noticed in my salutation, I said hello in 5 different languages which is a big gain for this kind of industry because my target audience can be expanded all over the world.
Even though I have Cerebral Palsy which does not allow me to physically practice any sport, I always look to be as close to the action as possible in any way.
This was the main motivation that I had in me to study in the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting and be where I am today.
