Last season, Wichita North’s Cecilia Solis was a first team all-league forward and this season she would like to combine her awards and accolades with being a better leader.
“I want to improve on becoming a better leader for the team,” Solis said. “Throughout the past three years I have been quiet when it comes to team talks but I believe that I can speak up and help the team a lot if I just use my voice to lift them up and motivate them.”
The Redhawks have a talented roster that Solis feels can compete at the highest level this season.
I’m excited about ending my senior year with an amazing team full of talented girls,” Solis said. “My goal this year is to become a leader on and off the field and to help lead the team into winning a city league championship with a great record. My goal for the team is to create a bond that no other team can have.”
Throughout the offseason, it was all soccer, all of the time for Solis. She learned many valuable lessons while playing with her club team.
“During the offseason I play and train with my club team and I also really dedicated my time training with ICT Aztecs Indoor Semi Pro,” Solis said. “I learned many things not just from the coaches but from my teammates. Many may believe that working in the heat doesn’t have advantages to anything but if you asked me I would say It got me through games that were extremely hot.”
