What Jade loves most about playing soccer is the balance between being part of a team and putting in the work on her own. She thrives when she’s training—whether it’s solo sessions where she can focus and grow, or team practices where she connects, learns, and competes with her teammates. She loves the energy, the challenge, and the joy of the game—and she’s counting down the days until the season starts
Jade is inspired by strong female athletes from all different sports who show resilience, passion, and dedication. She looks up to her coaches who constantly push her to grow and believe in her potential. But one of her biggest inspirations is herself—her drive to improve, her commitment to putting in extra work when no one is watching, and her determination to never settle. That inner motivation keeps her going every day, on and off the field.
Proudest moments in my daughter’s athletic journey isn’t a single play, it’s in the way she carries herself every day. She’s grown into a dedicated and joyful athlete. I’ts her smile during training, her love for having the ball at her feet, and her determination to show up and work hard, after a long day. Whether she’s up front as a forward, out wide on the wing, she brings resilience, positivity, and grace. I’m proud of the player she’s becoming, but even more proud of the heart she plays with
