When did you know you wanted to play soccer?

I was introduced to soccer by my family and I was kind of thrown into goalie.

When I think about Penn soccer I think about hard work, determination, and the need to win.

How do you train to be a better player everyday? 

I train daily by putting myself through drills to improve my explosive power so diving for the soccer ball is easier and quicker.

Who was your childhood hero that made you want to be better? 

My childhood hero was my brother. Seeing him play made my jaw drop and I just wanted to be like him and work just as hard as him.
