Freshman Anya Walker loves soccer but is unsure of a future career in this sport. 

Why did you start playing soccer?

It looked like a lot of fun and it is a really popular sport. I’m really glad that I decided to play soccer because it has become a passion of mine. I enjoy playing soccer now because I made a lot of new friends.

How old were you when you started playing soccer?

I was five years old when I started playing. At the time I was really nervous about playing, but now I think my skills have improved a lot.

Do you want to be a professional soccer player when you grow up? If not, what do you want to be when you grow up?

No, I don’t want to play professional soccer, but I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.

What’s it like having your father coach you and your team?

It depends. Sometimes it’s cool because I get more practice and my skills get better. But there is more pressure on me because he always wants me to play my best.

How long do you want to play soccer?

I’ll play soccer until I lose interest or until I go to college.  I’m going to try out for the South Lakes soccer team though.
