What made you want to start playing soccer?
“My mom played soccer, so it was just a sport that I knew so I just started playing it just because I knew my mom played […] competitively. She played in college and my aunt also played soccer.”
What is you favorite part about playing soccer?
“[My favorite part about playing soccer is] probably the competitiveness and the team environment especially with our high school team, we’re really close and it just makes playing a lot of fun.”
Why do you play soccer? What do you get out of it?
“I love competition and soccer is a really competitive sport so I enjoy that.”
Would you rather excel at a different sport?
