My favorite part about this sport is its inclusion of teamwork and that it creates friendships that last on and off the field.

To memorize plays and moves I apply them to practice and repeatedly use them throughout drills so that come game time it will come naturally under any circumstances.

Being the October athlete of the month truly makes me feel seen and that all my hard work put into the game or while at practice hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Did you have any injuries or any issues or obstacles that you had to overcome to compete?

Luckily, I have never faced any serious injuries throughout my soccer career besides some minor sprains along the way;however, one issue I have had to overcome when competing is getting in my head or overthinking the game. To overcome this, I take deep breaths then focus on working with my teammates while applying the skills that I know best.

Where did your passion for this sport come from? 

My passion for the sport all stems from the convincing of my grandfather to join a soccer team at the age of 5! His ongoing support and positive outlook on the game led me to an everlasting love for the sport of soccer.
