The 14th edition takes a look at junior forward Bailey Boulware. Read more about her soccer career on the right and get to know her better below:
1. Nickname ... Bay.
2. Biggest compliment given ... I'm a loyal friend, and I make people laugh.
3. Biggest Influence on your life and why ... My mom: my mom has always been a big influence in my life because whenever it gets hard or something is not right at the moment she always knows what to say to help me get my mindset right again, she supports everything I do( even though that's what moms are supposed to do) but it means a lot to me to know she is always right there. My other hero is a soccer player.. Tobin Heath: she is so good. She plays for the USA womens national team. She doesn't start but she comes off the bench sometimes and she just embraces her role she has and makes the best of it and I admire that. She is very technical and just sees the game and I hope in the next couple years I can get close to how technical she is.
4. Strengths ... Loyalty and light hearted
5. Weaknesses ... Not speaking my mind sometimes when I need to. In soccer, ball watching sometimes
6. Favorite Candy ... LOVE candy.. Maybe to much. Twizzlers, Andy's mints, kit kat, sour straws, sweet tarts, tootsie roll suckers, tootsie rolls, Hersey bar, frozen snickers, anything with Carmel in it, skittles, sour skittles, starburst, twix, milky way, m&ms ( all kinds) gummy bears,laffy taffy, air heads, chocolate covered gummy bears ...let's just say I have a problem/sweet tooth ;)
7. Dream vacation ... Anywhere with friends and family but I would really like to be out of the country.
8. Do you have any heroes?My hero is probably my dad. He is the one that pushes me everyday. I know he wants everything for me. He also played a college sport and knows what I go through and he helps through it when I need it. But he also let's me go on my own to figure things out. I look up to him more than he probably knows. He is my hero.
9. Do you have any hobbies, if so, please list them ... Well, what my hobbies are depends on if we are in season or not. But they are fishing, riding four wheelers, biking, reading, basketball, golf, sleeping and studying.
10. Name three people (famous, relatives, friends) you would invite to dinner? Chelsea Handler, Sophia Bush, Justin Bieber.
11. Who is the biggest joker on the team ... Samantha Howell.
12. Favorite Movie ... Colombiana with Zoe Saldana or Bridesmaids, that movie never gets old.
13. Favorite TV show ... Tough one. Probably a tie between One Tree Hill and and Law and Order.
14. Tell us something that we don't know about you?I'm secretly a clean freak.
15. Describe yourself in five words ... Laughter( I laugh a lot), rational, fun, loyal and positive.
16. In five years, I will be ... Hopefully in five years I will still be playing soccer. Or be a nurse and travel and work with babies in the ICU.
