Phi: What is your favorite part of being on the W&L soccer team?
RM: My favorite part of playing soccer at school is being part of a team. A really special community comes from spending countless hours together on a field, getting fired up about new snacks and big games in the locker room and learning how to encourage each other to be the best part of something bigger than any one of us. You discover a lot about yourself as a teammate, and it’s awesome to watch people around you find more in them than they thought was possible- on and off the field. I wouldn’t trade getting to be outside every day playing a sport I love with some of my greatest friends.
