What I love most about playing soccer is the feeling of being on the field. Everything else disappears, and it’s just me, my team, and the game. I love the competitiveness, the fast pace, and how every match is a new challenge. But I also really enjoy the friendships I’ve made through soccer, we push each other, support each other, and celebrate together. It’s more than just a sport to me, it’s something that brings out the best in me.
My biggest inspiration is my family. They’ve always supported me, whether it’s driving me to early practices, cheering me on at games, or helping me stay focused when things get tough. What inspires me most is their work ethic and how they never give up, even when life gets stressful. They’ve taught me to stay disciplined, humble, and to always give my best effort on and off the field. Seeing how hard they work for our family motivates me to push myself every day.
One of the moments I’m most proud of in my journey is getting the opportunity to travel to different states and out-of-town places to play the sport I love, alongside teammates I really enjoy being around. It’s been an amazing experience to compete at a high level while making memories with people who share the same passion.
