Kyani is a skilled, dedicated leader who uplifts her team, excels on the field, and embodies the true spirit of an Athlete of the Year.
Thank you for generously supporting Kyani in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Kyani loves the energy of the game, the bond with her teammates, and the thrill of pushing herself to improve every time she steps on the field. She enjoys the challenge, the teamwork, and the feeling of freedom when playing. Soccer is her passion—it keeps her focused, motivated, and always striving to be her best.
Kyani is inspired by Sophia Smith for her relentless drive, confidence, and skill on the field. She admires how Sophia plays with passion, never gives up, and leads by example. Off the field, Kyani looks up to her for staying humble and using her platform to inspire young girls to chase their dreams with heart and determination.
One of my proudest moments was Kyani reaching the finals with the ODP Hawaii 2011 team. Competing against top talent and helping her team succeed on a big stage showed her that her hard work, dedication, and love for the game can take her far.
