I’ve always loved sports and liked playing soccer. I loved soccer and playing field in 4th grade, but I loved playing goalie and soccer my junior year high school.

5.Why do you wear the number “00?”

Because I think #1 is for people who think their better than they are, and I picked 00 because 0 was taken in high school and I’m too superstitious to pick a different one.
