Juan Martinez sent me an absolutely extraordinary player that will eventually be playing for the United States or Mexico at the highest level. Her name is Sam Meza … she is incredibly creative, physically dominant, despite her small stature and the sort of player I would pay money to watch. I know the player development environment that Coach Martinez has and it was perfect to help Sam Meza get to her potential as a skillful, smart, dynamic player, and I appreciate these environments he creates for elite players."
