It also allows me to show the youth players that I coach how far the game can take you and it gives them something and someone to look up to that has a similar background as them. I am very honored to be part of this opportunity because it shows how much soccer has grown in our community over our recent past and I am very grateful to be able to be part of it.
What is special about the Green Bay Glory?
The opportunity to continue playing at a competitive level, the representation of women soccer players in our community, and all of the positivity that has surrounded this program and the positivity that this program has spread throughout our community. The people as well - those who work behind the scenes to provide this opportunity for everyone, those I have had and will have the opportunity to get to know better as teammates, and those in the community that have showed their continual passion and support for soccer in our area.
