Temecula Soccer Player 'Has Gone Above And Beyond': Student-Athlete Of The Week

TEMECULA, CA — Behind every standout student-athlete is a story worth sharing. Through Patch’s Local Athlete of the Week, we’re highlighting young people who are excelling in sports while also showing up for their communities.

This submission comes from Collin Foss, who nominated Dominic, a student-athlete from Temecula.

What is the athlete's name?

Dominic A.

What grade is the athlete in?

12th

What sport does the athlete play?

Soccer

How has the athlete excelled in their sport?

He is a goalkeeper who has gone above and beyond with how well he has played so far in this High School season, with the saves he has made to keep our team in games.

Why do you think the athlete should be recognized?

He should be recognized not just because he has done well this season, but because he has come off a back injury that kept him out for at least a month, and he has come back and looked like he has not missed time. Also, he is a good kid and has good grades, as well.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about this person?

That he is a student-athlete who takes not just his play on the field seriously, but also his grades. Also, he is humble, and he doesn’t want the spotlight on himself which is very admirable.

Keep up the great work, Dominic!
