Ana Martinez-Hernandez '21 Recruiting Profile

I got interested in soccer in the 4th grade. At first I was joking around with my parents about joining a team and learning how to play. Then one day, I actually told my parents I was serious about it because I saw all the trophies my dad has won in his soccer career. I have learned a lot about myself in my soccer years. I have learn that Im really competivite and that it brings out my strengths. For my mental state, it has grown a lot in soccer because it showed how tough my mindset has to be during the game and habe to make quick decisions in order to win a game. I had to come many obstacles to become who I am today. One example will be when I lost a tournament in my first year of my soccer career. It had showed me that not everything is easy and you need to work harder to get to a level you are comfortable in. My academic goal for high school is to graduate in white with either the Advance Diploma or Advanced Honors Diploma. For college, I will want to earn a degree in sociology or psychology. Im really confident about where I am and my growth, and I know I will be a great attribute for your team.
