Heart of the Women’s Soccer Team: Franky Pelaez

Passion is a word Loyola women’s soccer associate head coach Franky Pelaez would use to describe not only his life, but his four years at Loyola.

Peleaz’s journey started in Cartagena, Colombia, where he grew up playing soccer. Pelaez said in Cartagena, the culture is full of aspiration in everything they do and it’s where he learned how to live his life fully and focus on the moment.

“I come from a country where if you don’t talk, you don’t get anywhere,” Pelaez said. “Passion fuels the drive to talk and to succeed.”

Pelaez brings passion to the game of soccer no matter where.
