Sometimes not realizing a dream is tantamount to failure. It can be crushing, but it also tends to create opportunities to realize a different dream. For Jackie Kosegarten, the issues surrounding achieving one dream gave way to fulfilling another; playing professionally for her hometown Club Puebla. This dream too will be delayed albeit briefly as the club’s season opener against Santos was postponed due to an outbreak of COVID-19 at Santos. But make no mistake, this dream will not go unfulfilled.
“Soccer at college in the U.S. has been a dream since I was thirteen years old,” she stated in a promo video she made when she was sixteen years old, playing in Mexico with Noria FC in her native Puebla.
