• Why you first chose your sport: Soccer was a way for my cousins and the rest of my family to bond; We were close to the same age, so we played together for many years until we out grew teams
• Biggest mental challenge in your sport: I’ve been on a lot of losing teams; As a goalkeeper you take a lot of pride is making saves, sometimes they’re some you just can’t; However, at the end of the day it takes a whole team to win; So reassuring myself that I can be a game changer every game and forgetting about past matches is important for my play
• Interesting Notes: I went to boarding school 17 hours away from home
