Antonella Solari

My name is Antonella Solari, I am currently a Junior at Cypress Bay, where I play for the Varsity team. I have been playing soccer for 8 years. I began playing for Weston FC and then transferred to Sunrise Sting SC. My position is the ACM/DCM. I enjoy giving my strikers opportunities, while also maintaining a defensive balance. Positioning myself between lines, acting quickly, and recognizing when to either play my forwards, switch the play, or keep possession. Spatial awareness is key, while constantly checking my shoulders, and of course turning in confined areas and finishing the attack when needed. I am an extremely dedicated, diligent athlete that strives to always improve as an athlete and student. I LOVE watching international games. I've been to the Camp Nou (Barcelona), the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (Real Madrid), the Allianz Arena Stadium (Bayern Munich), the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium (Atletico Madrid), and Le Parc des Princes Stadium (PSG). My parents surprised me with a trip to the Camp Nou for my 10th birthday, and it remains my all-time favorite (#Culer for life). I am fortunate to have a loving family that always encourages and supports me. My academic performance is excellent; my GPA is 4.9. In college, I plan to major in Health Sciences ​​and hopefully become a Physical Therapist focusing on sport medicine in order to assist injured athletes in recovering quickly and achieving their goals.
