Best piece of advice you’ve ever received from a coach or teammate?

My dad always told me growing up “Don’t just play, play to win”

Who has been the biggest influence on your soccer journey?

Firstly, my youth coaches, Kurt Pregler and Julio Pastora, were and continue to be key role models to my soccer journey. I am very inspired by the impact they left with me as a player and now as a coach. Secondly, my parents! My parents came to every single game in youth soccer. My dad even came to every practice! The constant support and presence they showed made an incredible difference on the player, coach, and person I am today!
