My goals for 2026 are to be able to gain the confidence to shoot the ball more, because I get too nervous to miss the goal. Another goal of mine is to eat better before my games. A lot of the times I don’t eat before or I don’t eat as healthy. The last goal I have for myself is to have a better first touch because most of the time my first touch gets away from me into pressure.

In 2026, I want to become a better soccer player and teammate. I’m chasing improvement every day, not just goals or highlights. I want to play at a higher level and be someone my coaches can trust on the field. I need to get faster with the ball, make better decisions, react quicker and communicate more with my teammates. I also want to work on staying confident and focused, even when games are hard. I want to be the kind of player who works hard, never gives up, and helps the team win. I know I still have a lot to learn, and I’m ready to put in the work. ⚽️
