Goldmine

• Gross-Matos has a very strong family unit. One of the driving factors of this closeness is the loss of close loved ones they've experienced. When Yetur was two years old, his father,
  Michael, tragically passed away in a boating accident after saving Yetur's life.Eight years later, at the age of 10, Yetur's older brother, Chelal, passed away after being struck by lightning. These experiences, one of which he was not old enough to remember, have shaped him into the man he is today. They've allowed him to see just how important family is.
• He has an incredibly close relationship with his parents Sakinah and Robert Matos. They have always been supportive of every- thing he has done, especially football.
