Personal
Daughter of Michael and Debra DeBerdine...Has two siblings, Nathan and Brooke...Game Day Mantra: "I prepare for games by visualizing and thinking about my personal and team goals for the game. Once I feel ready, I get myself pumped up by dancing with my teammates and playing soccer."...Favorite Sports Quote: “You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.”...Best Words of Advice: You can't always be the person with the most talent on the field, but you can always be the person who is working the hardest.
