“Guin is a dedicated player who takes time to work on improving her skills. Guin is very young but shows a lot of maturity and determination as a player. She plays hard until the end of the game, no matter what the score is. Although she is younger than her teammates on the U15 team, she is not intimidated by older players. Guin started playing soccer as a U6 player and it's nice see that she still loves the game and still has a passion for the sport.”-Guinevere's coach, Connie Camacho
