When You Add It Up, She’s The Whole Package
Jan 16, 2015Posted by james
High school junior Hannon Eberts has drive, heart, speed, love for the game and talent. Hannon plays soccer. She started in kindergarten.
Unlike many serious soccer players, Hannon also plays another sport. She runs track. The fact that she holds the record for her school’s 400 probably wouldn’t surprise many of her soccer opponents. Hannon is known for her speed along with an uncanny ability to score with headers and kicks while airborne.
Following her freshman year, soccer success became more important to Hannon. She didn’t like the sectional finals that year—a loss on post-overtime penalty kicks. When her team met that same opponent this past postseason, Hannon said the girls had just one goal—to win.
The underdog status through much of the postseason became fuel for Hannon and her teammates. She said they needed to step up as a team for every game. They did and won the championship.
“We put so much hard work into winning,” said Hannon when it was over. “When you get the reward of winning, it’s incredible.”
That winning attitude also goes beyond the field. Hannon’s classroom IQ mirrors her game intelligence. A math lover, she wants to study either engineering or physical therapy in college. Of course, she also wants to continue to play the game she loves.
