I love playing soccer because it gives me a sense of freedom, energy, and connection. Whether it’s the thrill of defending, working together with teammates, or simply being out on the field, soccer is where I feel the most alive. It’s more than just a game it’s a passion and a constant source of joy.
I’m inspired on and off the field by my coach and my parents . On the field, they push me to give my best, stay focused, and never give up, no matter the score. Off the field, they lead by example showing what it means to be disciplined, respectful, and hardworking. Their belief in me motivates me to keep growing not just as a player, but as a person.
One moment that makes me the proudest in my athletic journey is realizing how much I’ve grown by learning from older friends in the same field. Watching how they train, and applying their tips has helped me improve both my skills and mindset. Taking my coach advice, It reminds me that growth comes from being open, humble, and always willing to learn.
