Get to Know Hallie ...
At what age did you start playing soccer and how did you get into soccer?
- Three years old. My older sister played and I wanted to be like her.
- My sister picked my name. She was eight years old when I was born and she loved the movie Parent Trap
- I would hope they see someone who loves the game, has fun and brings passion every time I step on the field.
- I would like to play volleyball. I just thought it looked fun.
- I used to be a cheerleader.
- My dad. His love for others and God inspires me every day. He has sacrificed so much so I can live my dreams and he encourages me everyday and always pushes me to grow in my faith.
- I loved watching Messi play because he was small like me and he was so fun to watch his love and passion for the game.
