The goalkeeper who came to Avellaneda to help Racing

Racing is fighting to return to Category Dthe highest place she has achieved in her short hockey history, but to fulfill that task they called an experienced goalkeeper and she, Milagros Garciacame to collaborate with the Academy.

“Racing is a team that was relegated last year and deserves to be at the top where we are.. Now we are in third place, now fighting to be there, first. The girls deserve it, we all deserve it with the coaching staff, the truth is that we are very happy.”

In his first year in Avellaneda, Milli She found a place where she felt contained and could also improve in her position: “Last year I played for another club, Universitario de La Plata. This year I am contributing a little here, they called me to be able to lend a hand and add. “I have been with them since March and I am very happy.”

And he continued: “I took it with a lot of commitment, I am very happy. Also training a lot to achieve what we want, which is promotion. The truth is that I adapted very well, the people are very good, very nice. They welcomed me with open arms, so I’m here to help them.

Although it is something she currently enjoys, her role as a goalkeeper began many years ago: “I have been practicing since I was 14 years old, today I am 28, so I have been there for quite some time, it is a position that I really like. The goalkeeper is special, it is a position in which one sometimes finds oneself alone”Milagros testified.

Within the current context of the position, where it is complex to instill in the little ones to get involved, Milagros offered words of encouragement so that more people come forward: “Since they were little, many girls or boys do not want to try because it is also a little recognized position. The truth is that we goalkeepers manage quite a bit on our own, especially in hockey. But it’s good, I invite you to try it. Have that responsibility, that adrenaline of saying that you can save a game as well as lose itr”, García closed.
