✨Dream with us✨
The first team sport I ever joined was soccer. My position, mid fielder......I think because the coaches noticed I loved running up and down the field regardless of whether I had the ball or not and never seemed to get tired. I loved playing soccer and played through High School where I finally came to a crossroads: running or soccer?
I think I chose the right path for me 😊

I grew up watching super stars like Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy. They made me believe that one day, I too could have a life in athletics. I too could have a BIG DREAM.

This summer, our US Women’s National team plays a key role in moving women in sport forward. The jersey is a symbol of female empowerment and a symbol that can unify the nation. Let’s cheer them on.
