~~My name is Chelsea Sahagian.
I am currently a junior at Narragansett High School in Narragansett, Rhode Island. I have been playing soccer since I was six years old and have played at many different levels. I started playing for the co-ed town league and my love for the game has grown from there.

I have learned the importance of leading by example, working diligently during practice and playing my hardest during game time motivates my teammates to do the same. I learned the importance of supporting my coaches and the decisions they make is vital to being successful on the field. As a captain, you have to be a positive role model on and off the field; it is a role I have embraced.
