Learn MoreAaliyah loves how soccer has taught her more than just the necessary skills to play the game. It has taught her communication, teamwork and leadership skills that will go beyond the field and into her future career.
Her coaches have definitely played a level of inspiration for her when it comes to her sports and future aspirations. When it comes to off the field, her father definitely plays an inspiration when it comes to work ethic and respect.
