The Game That Will Last a Lifetime is my soccer story and how I strived to be at my best physically, mentally, and emotionally throughout my eighteen year athletic career. While this is a sports memoir, it is also a story about victory, loss, finding confidence, dealing with situations that are out of one’s control and responding well to unexpected change. My soccer journey shaped my character in ways that have outlasted my career and I hope in reading my story, you are encouraged to lean into character building moments in your own life as well. Soccer, sports, art, teaching, traveling… Whatever your passion may be, use your journey to become the best version of yourself.
