Sofia plays for the Potomac Soccer Club’s GA Aspire team, and I like to share the wealth from just the typical highest level clubs, so she’s a good one to get some focus on. She’s listed as a defender/mid but I’ve only really ever seen her on offense. People ask me why some forwards never pan out, or why some exceedingly fast players never make that next step, and one of my usual responses is that a shooter almost needs to be it’s own position in soccer, it’s a skill in itself and just because someone is fast, or can get the ball up the field, doesn’t make them a shooter. Sofia will pull the trigger, she’s got nice touch and movement on her shots, but she knows to focus on the highest percentage shot and will put it in vs trying to get fancy or overpower something. If she gets some space in the offensive end, the keeper is in trouble, skimming the post, chip, hooking the ball into the corner, she’s got a bag full of scoring tricks and she will use them.
