You decide who will be named Youth Athlete of the Year, featured in a 3BRAND ad in Sports Illustrated, and take home $25,000
What she loves most about soccer is how she can have a sense of peace going into the field, in the past she's told me how this is the one thing in her life that she doesn't need to overthink about. It's also something that gives her hope when things get rough in life.
She's most inspired by her religion, Greek Orthodox, over the past years she's grown a very strong connection and overtime has learned many life lessons from the church. Otherwise it would be her Family and Friends who stayed with her when life has it's up and downs. The people who inspired her to play would also be her parents. Her dad played soccer in many clubs and teams growning up as a goal keeper and her mom since she was 6 started playing soccer and played pro in Greece for 6 years.
In her athletic journey there are many proud moments, but it comes down to whenever she gets on the field she's gives it her all, win or loose, she always keeps her head up high and doesnt allow doubt to get to her.
