January 25, 2022

Participant:  Sylvia White – Age 10 – Northwest Kiwanis Youth Soccer

 

Reason for selection: Sylvia was thrilled to be picked as the All-Star Spotlight! Her positive attitude on the field pairs well with her speed and natural left foot. Her first Women’s National Team game was a 1-0 win over Germany in the freezing rain (SheBelieves Cup 2018), and she is looking forward to the cold on Thursday night!

Participant questions:

  • Who is your favorite U.S. Soccer player and why?
  • For the Men’s Team… definitely Gyasi Zardes. I enjoy watching him play for my favorite club team (Columbus Crew) and I never miss a game! For the Women’s Team… Megan Rapinoe! I did a report on here for school and enjoyed learning about her style and all the medals and awards she has won.
  • Why do you love soccer?
  • It’s my favorite sport to play, watch and learn tricks. I love watching games and learning from the pros.
  • What is the most important lesson you have learned from playing sports?
  • Always have good sportsmanship and don’t be afraid to try new things (just not goalie).
  • What are you most looking forward to in 2022?
  • To do well in school and playing soccer again this spring and meeting my new teammates. Also for Covid to be over.
  • Who inspires you the most and why?
  • My teachers and soccer coaches (JP and Mom) because they are always there for me and always want me to do my best.
  • What do you want to be when you grow up?
  • Movie director, writer, producer… already have my first movie complete!
  • What or who are you thankful for?
  • My friends, family, and my cats Sam and Betty.
