Pasta, Samba and more with Dash defender Poliana

What motivates you?

I grew up with this sport, it is my life so I want to keep playing and enjoying the sport. This sport has taken me to Europe; I played in Iceland – that was one the biggest adventures of my life. I went to a very foreign land where I didn’t speak the language, didn’t know the customs and then there’s the weather. Iceland was just so cold. I enjoyed my time there and I’m very grateful that I was able to play soccer there.

Who are your heroes?

My parents, they have always been there for me.
