IN MY WORDS: Shea Salinas

GROWING UP IN TEXAS

I grew up in Texas. I was born in Lubbock, lived a little in San Angelo. In the seventh grade, I moved to Grapevine. That’s where I spent most of my childhood that I can remember. It was a suburb of Dallas. I have a younger brother and we were always extremely active. We were always outside, always playing. I started playing competitive soccer when I was 11 for a club team in Dallas. It’s a crazy story of how we ended up in Dallas, actually. When I was living in San Angelo, I was at an overnight soccer camp in Fort Worth.
