Viridiana Gonzales '23 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing since I was 2-3 years old. I grew up playing with guys, I was usually the only girl on the team. Ever since I was little my dream was too play professional soccer or in a good college. My idol has always been Rafael Marquez who plays in Mexico’s National team. I started playing in Mesa, Arizona and right as I was going to receive a club offer we moved to Colorado a couple months and then moved to Washington. I recently got injured, I’m 8 months in into my recovery after getting surgery to repair my acl and meniscus. My first goal is to come back better then before, with more strength and more technique. My second goal is to work as hard as possible in order to be able to play with a club. From there, my main goal is to play in a good college, and depending on everything hopefully professional.
