Kinsley

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Kinsley loves witnessing her hard work in action on the pitch when she successfully completes moves, defends, and scores goals. She is also fond of the sense of community in soccer. Kinsley enjoys learning about her inspiring professional players, including their paths to success and where they grew up. If she had unlimited funds, she would attend as many games as possible. Additionally, she is an active ball girl for our local club in Naples, FL because she just can't get enough of the sport!

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Her biggest inspiration is her dad. He used to play soccer, and she watched him when she was younger. After he got injured, she felt as though she could take up the mantle and continue his legacy. Since then, he has coached her and helped her grow both as a player and as a person. Another source of inspiration for her is Erling Haaland. She admires how he, too, grew up watching his dad and gives everything he has to become the best version of himself.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Kinsley is an exceptional cheerleader and role model. She consistently pushes herself during practice, inspiring her teammates to do the same. During games, she encourages her teammates both on the pitch and from the bench. In a recent 3v3 tournament, while a teammate was playing pivot and had control of the ball, Kinsley recognized an opportunity to cover for her so her teammate could drive downfield and get a shot on goal. For her to see that at a young age was inspiring as a parent.
