I played many sports growing up, but soccer has always been my true passion. I started playing soccer at age 3 and competitively at 9. My first year of competitive soccer, I had to push myself to keep up and reach the level of the other players. During the off season, I practiced hours every day. Come the next season, I was one of the best players on the team. Today, I am even more committed and motivated to find ways to elevate my game. For example, practicing extra after training, or finding new skills on YouTube. I believe with my confidence and commitment, I can reach a new level. I never settle for being "just" average. As a result, I'm determined to play at the collegiate level where I can continue to learn and improve my game.
