hey, my name is malena. i am a 2026 student athlete and play with valencia cf academy. As a student athlete I train approximately 6 days a week which includes conditioning training, field training and Goal Keeper specific training which requires discipline, time management and a very strong work ethic. Despite the demanding schedule of a student athlete I have consistently maintained an overall average of 85% and over. I am working at getting to a 4.0 GPA.

Being a student athlete in a team sport has taught me and helped me develop valuable skills that can be used in sports, education, and life. It has taught me about being a Team Player , perseverance, time management and goal setting. I would like to go the furthest i can in this sport and hopefully end up playing either in europe or for a D1 university in the states.
