I love playing soccer because it has showed me the importance of hard work, perseverance, and dedication for everything you do in life. For every set back I’ve had, soccer has given me the determination and courage to fight back and overcome. When I’m on the field, all the noise in my life disappears and I get the chance to do what I love. Soccer has given me a lifetimes worth of friendships, mentors, and the opportunity for personal growth that will continue to help me become the best version of myself.
