Summary
Sonia Rocha has been a member of the women’s varsity soccer team at Humber for 4 years. She currently captains the team and feels that motivation is the key to displaying excellent leadership. Rocha says, “Getting everyone off to a certain level and leading by example are important. At practice, if you want your players to perform at a certain level you have to perform at that level.”
Over the years that Rocha has been with the varsity soccer team, she has helped them win many titles, including provincial gold and a national bronze last season. Rocha has received individual awards as well. She has honorably accepted the OCAA Athlete of the Week award, OCAA Tournament All-Star award, and CCAA Tournament All-Star award. Her dedication to the team and ability to lead by example on and off the pitch make Rocha a well-rounded athlete. She is in her second year of sports management at Humber College.
