Alexa loves competing and beating the older boys and girls she plays against especially those who underestimate her.
Many great players inspire Alexa from the GOATS like Cristiano Ronaldo’s dedication to his physique at 40+ years old (not eating sugar or drinking soda) and Messi’s continuous training even though he’s one of the best and Aitana Bonmatí, ballon d'or winner as she dreams of one day playing in the World Cup. She’s also inspired by the various coaches and her dad who train and play with her on a daily basis and share their knowledge and wisdom with her as they see her potential and dedication.
Alexa’s so humble and has so much compassion that she doesn’t really celebrate loudly when she scores like most kids do. I remember asking her why and she said she doesn’t like to celebrate in public especially in front of other kids who lost or are crying. She also makes me proud every time I see her playing with a ball on her own and perfecting that skill move. This shows me she really loves to play soccer. I’m so proud of the person and athlete she is growing into.
