A: That was a really fun game just because I got the hat trick, which is three goals. It was just fun to be able to play with the team, and beat American.
Q: When did you start playing soccer, and why?
A: I started playing when I was 6. My parents just put me in it, and ever since I started playing I just grew from there and I loved it.
Q: How do you train for soccer season?
A: A lot of running and a lot of conditioning.
