Reflections on the Journey
This trip has been about more than just soccer. It’s been an opportunity for me to grow as a player and a person. The bonds I’ve formed with my teammates and the lessons I’ve learned will stay with me for a lifetime. As we head back to NYC, I’m filled with excitement for the future.
During our stay, we called Lilleshall Hall National Sports Centre home. It’s a historic venue with top-notch facilities, and it provided the perfect setting for our training sessions and downtime. Fun fact: Lilleshall Hall has been the training base for many elite athletes and sports teams over the years, adding to the excitement of our trip.
