Built To Come Back

I fell in love with soccer as a child growing up playing every position even goalkeeper! My most memorable save was in El Paso, Texas going into penalty shootouts. I had a sit out and saved every shot taken. A teammate who inspired me was a tri athlete and currently running for ucla, ee always went of runs and did extra trainings to reach maximum performance for season. I tore both my meniscuses my junior season, I was taken out an had to rehabilitate and learn to walk. I wasn’t able to go thru with college soccer becuase of my injury. & now play for fun/competivly with Saber FC! SabersFC is like a family because we do things outside of practice to make a true community, my funniest moment playing soccer was when I was running so fast and looking at the ball and ran strait into a back defenders butt. Knocking myself down.
