An American father has built a platform around his son, who he presents as the future star of American football.
“These kinds of stories, we generally know how they end: badly,” wrote a subscriber to the sports site The Athletic in the comments section, at the bottom of the story relating the rather implausible story of a father convinced that his son just 10 years old is the next US sports superstar.
Nicknamed “Baby Gronk” (in reference to Rob Gronkowski, former quarterback lieutenant Tom Brady with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers), this 10-year-old kid has already become a sensation on social networks with more than 320,000 followers. on his Instagram account, where the son is presented as “Football Celebrity”.
We see him posing with US sports celebrities, actors like Mark Wahlberg and NBA basketball stars, but also on the campuses of the most prestigious universities, which however do not recruit children of this age…
The father calls himself an “influencer”
His father, Jake San Miguel, who presents himself as a marketing and social media ace, orchestrated everything and does not hide it. “Everything is planned, nothing has been left to chance: I have a plan for my son that goes back long before he was born. And it’s working, “explains to The Athletic this 36-year-old American from the Dallas, Texas area, who also presents himself as a “content creator” and an “influencer”.
Since his son Madden was six years old, his father has worked tirelessly to make him a celebrity and the future star of American football in the NFL, the American professional league. Taller, more developed and heavier than kids his age, “Baby Gronk” momentarily seems to be ahead of his teammates and opponents on the US soccer field. “My son works hard and we train five to six days a week. He follows a diet, he eats healthy food. He is a real athlete. He has been trained and programmed since he was six years old,” boasts this ambitious father.
Already 100,000 dollars per year
The objective, of course, is financial: according to Jake San Miguel, his son already receives nearly 100,000 dollars a year through activities on the networks and various advertisements. “All this money is for him,” swears the father, who aims to make his son a millionaire soon. “My goal is to build him a platform and a large community of followers that brings him money placed in his savings account. When he gets out of school, he will already be a millionaire.”
It remains to be seen whether, within ten years, an American football player nicknamed “Baby Gronk” will really set the NFL on fire.
