I cannot put into words how much I love the game of soccer. I have learned that you always have to give it your all no matter if you are playing in a game or practicing to become a better player, because you never know who is watching.

references

Santana is a very serious athlete, and student of the game.

She plays as a center back, and outside back and is always asking the right questions to improve her positional understanding and team tactics.

Her height and physical presence are attributes that make her a force to be reckoned with.

She has the ability to change a game by making a key tackle, and then jump starting a counter attack by delivering the right pass.

I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Santana Solano as an exceptional soccer player and an invaluable team member. I have had the pleasure of coaching her for the 2022-2023 season at Atletico NM, and I am confident that she possesses the skills, dedication, and character to excel at the next level.

Santana is not only a highly talented soccer player but also a hardworking individual. Her technical abilities on the field are solid, and she showcases a blend of athleticism and tactical understanding. She has consistently demonstrated a deep desire to learn the game and improve on and off the field. Santana regularly asked for extra training with my assistant coaches before team trainings and on off days. She consistently goes above and beyond to improve her skills, putting in extra hours of practice and willingly taking on additional responsibilities to support the team. Her positive attitude and commitment to continuous improvement make her a true asset to any team.

I have no doubt that Santana will thrive in any soccer program that is fortunate enough to have her. she possesses the talent, work ethic, and character that are essential for success both on and off the field. I highly recommend her without reservation and am confident that she will make significant contributions to any team she joins.

If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me at Devan.lootens@gmail.com or 505-366-7021.

Head Coach Devan Lootens (Atletico NM FC)

Santana's hard work, dedication, and willingness to learn are just a few things that make this athlete successful. She is a great kid on and off the field, with an even better attitude. Santana's work ethic is unmeasurable, she will give her everything to whatever she does and put her mind to. She is always wanting to elevate her game with strengthening weaknesses, and learning new things. Being on the field is home for her, she loves the game and demonstrates that love through her play. She will go far and be successful in whatever she decides to do in life. Any program would be lucky to have her.
