High School

High school was always so much fun for me. My first two years were intense. For the first time I had a coach that really knew how to condition you and would yell at you for mistakes. It took a lot of getting used to but it only made me better and made me stronger. Something to keep in mind when you get new coaches is that they will never be the same as the last. Each coach does things different but they all has something to offer and learn from. I went through 3 coaches in high school and learned and grew from each one of them! I started out playing center mid in high school my freshman and sophomore year. My junior year I started playing wing but I always hated that position. But remember playing a position you hate is always better then sitting the bench. Still I always wanted to play forward and I wasn't going to stop pushing and working for that position. My senior year I finally got to play forward!I loved it and haven't stopped playing that position since. I thrive off scoring goals and would do just about anything to do so. Being able to score goals is what helped to get me to Iowa Western!

Club Soccer

Playing soccer at the D1 level is something any little girl thinks about if she grows up playing soccer. I started playing at about age 5 and haven't stopped since. Living in Cache Valley was not the easiest place to find a quality soccer team to play for. I was never on much of a winning club team until my freshman year in high school. As I played on a less talented team we payed against a Denis Giles team and got demolished by them. After the game Denis came up to me and asked if I would like to join his team. That was the first time anyone had taken any interest in me and thought I was good enough to play with the best. Denis changed my life and transformed me into the player I always wanted to be. The off season between my freshman and sophomore year was the first time I got to work and train with his team. When I returned to my high school team the following fall my high school coach couldn't believe the difference. He said he had never seen anyone in all his years of coaching improve so much over one summer! And from then on playing for Denis only made me better. I'm not going to say I always loved going to practice and that I never complained because I'm not perfect. But you know you have to go anyway and in the long run your going to wish you never slacked at any practice and never wasted any time. You'll need all the extra work you can get! Enjoy it while is lasts. Some of my favorite soccer memories were with those girls on that team! And some of my best friends still today are from that club team! Don't ever waste a minute being unhappy at soccer!!!!!!!!!!
