Playing soccer at a young age, Alex Thompson (10) has always loved the game. One of Alex’s favorite attributes about soccer is the new opportunities to meet people. 

“I’ve met, like, two of my best friends from soccer,” Thompson said. 

Being closely tied to her soccer community, she also has a particularly special bond with her sister.

“When we need someone to talk to, we’re just able to give each other advice,” Thompson said. 

Over this summer, Alex and her sister went to Mexico to grow their bond. 

 “We talked about a lot of her college stuff, because that was, like, the last big trip we were doing before she left,”  Thompson said. 

Alex always loves a game of soccer and spending time with her sister.
