Having played football all my life, I was very excited to get to continue playing in university and my experience playing for the first team over the course of the past year has been amazing. I have learned so much from our coaches, captains, and my fellow teammates. Growing up playing football in colorado, and later spain, I have learned to adapt to a range of playing styles and players. I feel that these opportunities and my experience as captain of the varsity team in my high school have allowed me to understand important qualities such as communication, perseverance, and enthusiasm in order to build a strong team dynamic. I love the community that the UCL women’s football has built and would like the opportunity to contribute in a leadership position. Going into my last year at UCL, it would be my goal as first team captain to motivate and encourage everyone to do their best to have a successful season and end the year with a strong varsity win.
In my past two years on the first team, I’ve loved playing for UCL and have had lots of fun on and off the pitch. Having played for 16 years and coached for 3, I understand the link between the social aspect of a football team and its successes on the pitch, and would be able to bring this into our first team. As next year is my last year at UCL, I would love to take on the role of captain to help us beat kings so I can win my final varsity and end my time at UCL on a high.
Having never been allowed to play competitive football before as a girl, coming here and having the opportunity to share my passion with a wonderful group of people is truly a dream come true. I want to take on a more active role and contribute to the development of the club that has given me that opportunity. Moving so frequently throughout my life has taught me the importance of feeling part of something; the team has been a huge source of comfort and consistency in a new city and new phase of my life, and I want to help continue that legacy of inclusivity and community.
