Gina is not just any soccer player; she is the best scorer in the league. When she
was a young girl, her mother was the coach of the local soccer team. Gina often
tagged along with her mother to the matches. She must have been a keen observer
because she learned very quickly when she started playing. Although her teammates
were good players, Gina was a standout. She has been a top-rated player for the last
three years. Gina has also been an excellent role model for youngsters, and someday
she may be an excellent coach.
