I play soccer because when I’m on the field I feel powerful. There is nothing on my mind except the game and victory. Soccer has given me many friendships. My teammates have helped me become a better person on the field and off. I can be myself around each and every one of them. My teammates are my sisters. I play the sport because it gives me joy and freedom. Soccer has taught me life lessons and how to be stronger mentally and physically. No other sport will ever give me the same excitement that soccer does. When I’m on the field I’m engaged in the game, I feel fierce, strong and competitive.
