Q: What do you intend to major in and why?
A: I will probably major in kinesiology (or the science of body movement) because of my experiences playing soccer.
Q: What are some challenges you will face?
A: The biggest challenge on the field is probably playing time, but academically, being able to keep up in school with the loaded soccer schedule.
Q: What are your goals playing collegiate soccer?
A: My main goal is to try and be a starter and contribute as much as I can to the team. I have no aspirations to play professional.
Q: What does soccer mean to you and why did you want to play at the collegiate level?
A: Soccer allows me to meet new people and make special bonds with people I never would have met, but most importantly, soccer is the biggest stress-reliever in my life, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without it. I wanted to continue playing because I wanted to still have the stress-reliever in my life, and I also want to see what the highest level of soccer I can play is.
