What has playing on the team taught you about yourself?
Playing on the team has taught me a few things. First commitment and discipline. I enjoy soccer and have committed to do the best I can for the team and discipline myself to achieve that goal. It has also taught me leadership. I had some great role models and appreciate them helping me along during my Freshman and Sophomore years.

Do you have any pre-practice rituals or pre-game superstitions?
