“My first season at Prosecco DOC Imoco was better than I expected. Winning everything with this group of girls was really special and it was a year I will never forget. I think the most important thing I learned is it was how to behave in such a high level team, learning the mentality that my teammates have to win when we are in difficulty or how to support those around you This is what makes a team like Imoco so successful and has been a good lesson for my career. My personal goals are to continue to grow to become a complete player and gain the trust of my teammates and the coaching staff. As a team I think we have everything it takes to continue to win in the championship and in the Champions League, we will also have the goal of the World Cup. There are many strong opponents, but we will be there.. I already miss the Palaverde fans! their energy!”
