"Soccer has been one of the biggest parts of my life, and it’s taught me a lot about discipline, hard work, and never giving up. I’ve been honored to receive Team Defensive MVP and All-Conference for three years in a row, and those awards mean a lot because they show the effort I’ve put in every day for my team. More than anything, I just want to be known as someone who gives everything I have on the field and always puts the team first. My relationship with Jesus is also a huge part of who I am. My faith keeps me grounded, reminds me to stay humble, and helps me trust God through both the good moments and the hard ones. As a student-athlete, I try to represent Christ in the way I compete, treat others, and live my everyday life." - Ivan Lndaverde
