Aleynad Jimenez '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I'm Aleynad, but I go by Ally. Being part of a family of 6, I aspire to be a first generation college student, and form part of a team where we can be the change for a greater good. I began playing soccer in a boys team at the age of five until I was eight. Being the only girl in a boys team has taught me how to stand out, how to work my hardest, and do my best. I always like to keep a good attitude towards my teammates and coaches. During training, I like to give 110% and encourage others to strive to always be better than they were yesterday. Once it's game time, for me the scoreboard always marks zero. I can't let the score get in my head, because it's not over until the last whistle is blown.  My passion for this sport involves traveling as a big part of my playing experience, as the town I currently live in does not have a soccer team.  Maintaining good grades is what allows me to continue playing the sport I love. Therefore, my goal is to be my family's first generation to ever play college level soccer.
