Got to jump in with the 16/17 boys at TopBallers with Coach Mohamed… and yeah, it pushed me. Fast pace, physical, no time on the ball. Exactly the kind of work that exposes what you need to level up.

It wasn’t easy, but that’s the point. Sessions like this build you for the moments that matter. With tournament this weekend, I’m feeling ready to compete, adapt, and bring everything I’ve been working on.
Also excited to keep building with my new teammates still learning each other, but the chemistry is coming.

Big day of soccer against some of the top-ranked teams in California.
First game was against SoCal Blues and we battled to a 5-5 draw. I was able to score the first goal, hit the post a couple of times, and did my best to help control the midfield against a very direct team. Definitely a game that tested us from start to finish.
Second game was against Legends. I felt like there were a lot of chances created today. A few opportunities for my teammates, a few for myself, but sometimes the ball just doesn’t want to find the back of the net. That’s soccer.
Overall, I’m proud of the effort, the fight, and the lessons from today. The job isn’t finished yet. Looking forward to tomorrow and another chance to compete.
It’s not over until it’s over.

Blessed is an understatement… I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful city where the soccer community is so rich but most of all, there are mentors who are constantly pouring into the community to improve the game giving wisdom and guidance🙏🏽

Thank you @sandiegofc for taking the time to move the game forward putting on such a good clinic for all levels of play 💙

Thank you Daddy & Mama for always allowing me to do what I love and looking for opportunities to meet new coaches & meeting new players 🤙🏽

It was a pleasure to meet you Coach @lisamnsoccer & Coach @regigin I look forward to see you both once more in the near future 🫶🏼

⚽️ 3-1 WIN
A little late to warm-ups today because family comes first. Started the day cheering on my little brother at his World League BJJ tournament, watching him show incredible mental toughness and fight his way onto the podium. 🥉🥋

Today I brought the strength, confidence, and 1v1 ability, taking on defenders and driving forward with purpose. Didn’t manage to put away my chances this time, but every game is a lesson, and there’s always something to build on.
The shots didn’t fall, but the team got the result. THAT’S WHAT MATTERS. 💪⚽️
Proud of the performance, hungry for the next one, and always back to work. The journey never stops!

They thought the age difference would make a difference… I came to compete.🔥
Another game with the A-Team, going up against an older group of girls, and I had to hold my own against bigger, stronger players. Respect the challenge, trust your game, and let your performance speak.
2 GOALS ⚽️⚽️ Big shoutout to @mateomilan_2016 for the assist! 🤝
But the best part of this weekend? Getting to watch my little brother step on the mats and compete at BJJ World League. We both have our own battles to fight, and there’s nothing better than supporting each other along the way.
Different sports. Same mindset. NEVER STOP COMPETING.

Three days. Three different challenges.
Thursday: high-quality work with TopBallers.
Friday night: played the full match, down players early, then no subs. Finished with a W
This morning: another full match against a strong opponent.
I felt the impact of those back-to-back games today. It wasn’t my best performance, and I know I had more to give. But one game doesn’t define the player I am or the player I’m becoming.
I still found moments to make an impact. Had chances. Just didn’t finish them.
Back to the grind. More work, more reps, more growth. But FIRST some rest 💤
I’m already looking forward to the rematch. Next time, I’m coming ready to give my best. ⚽️

Another quality session at @topballerstraining with Coach Mo 🔥
One thing he kept saying that stuck with me: “Don’t waste a rep.”
It got me thinking about games. In a 50-minute 7v7 match, you might only get a few dozen meaningful touches on the ball. That’s not a lot of chances to make an impact.
So every touch matters. Every first touch, pass, turn, dribble and finish has a purpose.
That mindset starts in training.

Really grateful for Coach Mo’s mentorship and for the environment he’s built at TopBallers. The standard is high, the work is real, and you’re expected to give your best every rep.
Don’t waste a rep.

6–4 win vs. San Diego Surf ⚽️🔥

Today was one of those games where you had to fight for every touch. Two assists, one goal, and a shot off the crossbar.

Tough opponent, tough conditions, and a difficult pitch that we call home. Still found a way to create, compete, and make an impact from start to finish.

Proud of the team and hope we can get this win streak going 🔥

Friday night under the lights with my uncle ‘s A Team ⚽️
2 goals, some big moments of composure, and a lot of confidence against an older group. Stayed locked in, played my game, and helped the team get another dub.
The streak continues… but we’re not done yet. Today we have league game coming up with my age group 🤙🏽

First league game
Played the whole match at center mid and got on the scoresheet too from distance 🔥
We started off down 0-2, came back to go up 4-2, but ended up with a 4-4 draw. Definitely feels like one we could’ve closed out.
A few things I’m taking from this game; more communication with my teammates using my field voice and the importance of finishing those chances because they can really change the game. Not too bad coming back from a mild injury.
Overall, proud of the fight from the team, moving forward focusing on the next one🤙🏽

Got the opportunity to play with the A Team last night. We came out dominant from start to finish and got the win! I was also fortunate enough to get on the scoresheet with a goal!

But what made the night even more special was having my uncle and cousins there to watch me play one last time before they head back home to Mexico City 🇲🇽❤️. I’ve had such an amazing time spending time with my cousins, and I’m so grateful we got to share this moment together.

And to top it all off, I got to see one of my favorite SDFC players, @a_godoy20 ! 🙌🏽💙 Muchas gracias Godoy por tu tiempo y la oportunidad de tomarme una foto contigo 🤙🏽🙏🏽

A great performance, a goal, family by my side, and a special moment with one of my favorite players. Couldn’t have asked for a better night. ⚽️❤️‍🔥
