Thank you for a great four years of Benet soccer! Sometimes mid season it’ll get to a point we all want to be done, but once it’s over you’ll miss it so enjoy it while it lasts! Every role on the team, big or small, is important so complete your role to the best of your ability. I can’t wait to come back and see the team play next year!

Hi guys!! I just wanted to say how grateful i was to be a part of this team and get to experience something not a lot of kids can say, winning a state championship. I want all of you younger babies to take advantage of the time you have left in high school and time you have on the soccer team. You will get to a point where you don’t wanna go to practice or do workouts and morning conditioning sounds like the last thing you ever want to do. But believe me,  It flies by and you will wish you had more nice weather practices or games all your friends come to and cheer you on. Make a bond with the team that lasts longer than just the season. I had a bond so strong with my team from last year I wish everyday i could have that time back together. These are you best friends. Please make you time count. Don’t take these amazing coaches for granted. They want what is best for you. Do great things because i know you all are capable of greatness❤️

In the off season I will continue to practice. I also think to keep our team united in the off season we could meet as small groups occasionally where the incoming seniors can be leaders of each group.

I've had a lot of fun over the past four years with Benet soccer. There were times when I wasn't sure of myself and times when I thought it was too much to handle, but at every turn I had coaches and teammates to support me. Don't ever be afraid to reach out to those people for advice. I learned a lot about soccer at Benet and even more about working with a team. Keep working hard and play at your best level!

# data[].attributes.body
I will come to practice with a positive mindset and try to bring positivity and encouragement to others.

I wanted to thank everyone for a great four years of Benet soccer. Each person that’s been on the team over the years has helped me be the person I am today. I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to play and get to know so many awesome people. For the future teams, make sure you guys take the time to build up and strengthen friendships on and off the field because that’s what really makes the difference. Remember to appreciate your time at Benet because nothing is guaranteed. Take advantage of the soccer program and always give it your all. I wish nothing but the best for the future teams and players.

Hi guys!! I just want to say thank you for a great four years of Benet soccer. Benet soccer has taught me a lot and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to play on varsity. My words of advice would be to always work hard even when no one is watching. Put in time during the off season to improve yourself and take care of your body. Spend time with your teammates and never leave anyone out because every single player is important on the team, even the players who don’t start. Be thankful for the season because once it gets taken away from you, you will sincerely miss it. Love you guys and I wish you the best of luck in the future and I can’t wait to come back and see you guys play!!

During the off season, I will continue to touch the ball and communicate with my teammates. I think that it is important for all of us to maintain communication and meet in groups to plan for the season and do some team bonding.

During the off season, I will continue to train very hard. That way I a, ready to go for our next season. I will also always be positive and bring a good outlook to the team.

This is so sad :/ saying goodbye to something that has been so special to me over these last 4 years, well actually over these last 14. My advice to the youngins is no doubt make sure you’re having fun. A lot of my problems throughout the last 4 years stemmed from me being too hard on myself and not looking at the big picture that it’s just high school soccer and supposed to be fun! You are not expected to be the whole team. If each person does their part, the team will exceed. And funny thing is I have proven you do play better when you are not thinking about the coaches, parents, stats, or anything else, but just simply having a good time out there. Live in the moment, play your game, and laugh and move on if you screw up. Next, never walk away from the sport. I have hated soccer and wanted to walk off the field, and there have been times you wouldn't be able to get me off the field because I loved it so much. Soccer is very mental. If you’re feeling burnt out, talk to your coaches and teammates and they will help you. every one is going to have shitty games, it’s just reality, but use it as motivation to try to better yourself for the next game. Mental health is equally, if not more important than physical. No one is expecting you to be something you aren’t, and this is a family so everyone cares about you. Walk away if you need to, but never go far. It’s ok to need a break, but don’t let it define you. Sticking with soccer has made me the person and player I am today, and I realize now how lost I would of been without it. Take advantage of all the opportunities you are given, big and small, and don’t overthink them either it’s just a game! I think I speak for all the seniors when I say I would give anything to be able to play my last highschool soccer game, so use this as motivation. play every game like it’s your last and leave everything out on the field. chase down that defender, make that extra run, and go in for that tackle. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you guys are able to achieve next year and beyond. You are such a special group of girls I am so thankful to have known! See ya around + peace Benet soccer ✌🏼

During the off season I will continue to train hard with my club team and practice my leadership role there as captain. I will stay connected with my friends here and help push them to stay fit and get better.

Hi guys :) I was so sad that I didn’t get to know most of you guys too well this season, because I know that the relationships I’ve had with my teammates through Benet soccer has shaped me into a better person over these last four years. You are all great soccer players, but even better people. You are so lucky to have each other. Although I loved my teammates since I was little, there’s something different about connecting with your teammates as you mature as a person. Benet soccer players push each other to be better on the field, in the classroom, and with their friends. You will learn lessons by trying to become a better teammate over the remaining years you have left at Benet. I didn’t even realize that I was learning these lessons until it was over. I learned that a good teammate’s best interest is to make their other teammates better. Another thing that I learned is to give and receive criticism with grace. There is nothing wrong with criticism. Criticism should be given to make your teammates better. However, it should be given in an encouraging way. Never discourage yourself or your teammates. If you make a mistake, get past it. Learn from that mistake and realize that by making that mistake, you learn how to avoid it from now on. We all make mistakes on and off the field, the best thing to do is to own up to your mistakes and figure out how to not make that mistake again. Another thing that I learned from Benet soccer is to accept your role on the team. If you don’t play as much as you would like to, do not get angry. You will get your opportunity to prove yourself. Always work hard in practice. The coaches notice everything, even if you don’t think they do. They see how hard you work even when you think they’re not looking. Keep your head up if something happens in your life that may be disappointing. It will be okay. The best thing you can do if something bad happens is figure out how to find the good in it. Even if you feel like there’s no good in it, getting past it will make you stronger. My favorite part of Benet soccer was when I would smile and laugh with my teammates. There have been days that I had a bad day at school, but seeing one of my teammates smile or laugh at practice after school made it so much better that I even forgot what was going on before practice. You may not be in the same friend group as your teammates, but your bond is different than those of your school friends. You may not even realize it, but you pick each other up when you’re down, you encourage each other to be better, and you celebrate together when you have success. I am so grateful for Benet soccer. A state championship was icing on the cake, because I would have been completely content with my experience at Benet soccer with or without a state championship. Benet soccer creates a family of soccer players. I am so lucky to have been a part of that family and I am excited to take everything I learned here into the future. Goodbye Benet soccer and thank you for everything. Love you guys.

During the off season I will work to get better and focus on training so that I can come back next season and give 100 percent.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to continue to train hard and improve during club season. It will be a great opportunity for me to learn about being in more of a leadership role. I think it is important to stay positive yet keep things competitive. Staying connected with the girls is also important going forward.

# data[].attributes.body
I will use my last club season as an opportunity to improve myself more and get ready for high school soccer. I am going to work hard to stay fit and be the best player I can be to help our team. I will also continue to be positive and grow friendships with everyone on the team

I am so thankful for all my years of playing soccer at Benet! The biggest thing that I learned is to always take advantage of the opportunities you are presented with. If i worked a little bit harder I could have had a chance at playing varsity last year and I will always kind of regret not pushing myself a little bit more. So the best advice I can give to the underclassmen is to embrace the opportunities you are given even if you are a little bit unsure of them at first. :)

# data[].attributes.body
To improve as a soccer player and as a teammate, i’ll try to communicate more with the upperclassmen and i will practice technical skills at least 3 times a week, and run.

# data[].attributes.body
Hey guys!! I am so thankful to be on the team with you for the time being. Benet soccer has been one of the best times of my life and being senior on the team was one of the best parts too. The connection you get with your teammates is one like no other so make sure you take advantage of all the time you get with each other. You will have the best time ever let me know if u need anything :)

# data[].attributes.body
To help out the team, I am going to work on self development both on the field and in my mind. i want to develop a leadership mentality that i saw from the seniors this year. i will strive to carry that on and hope to get the team far next season.
