Carlo Silva, a soccer athlete from Heights High School, was chosen as the Shelter Insurance Athlete of the Month. Silva was named honorable mention all-league
last season.
“It’s an honor to be chosen for VYPE Magazine,” Silva said. “I’m excited I get to share my soccer journey alongside all these other VYPE athletes.”
Silva spent the offseason working on his own and with his family to prepare for the season.
“I spend a lot of time in the gym working on strength training, both on and off season,” Silva said. “Every summer I visit family in Texas for a few weeks, so I get a new gym experience with my cousins and my friend there.”
Silva focused on bettering his skills on the field, including his goal count.
“This high school season, I wanted to improve my goal count,” Silva said. “So far, I’m there but now I’m hoping to get a few more goals before the season is over. I’m hoping to be in the top three in the city for goal count.”
Silva plans to continue playing his sport after high school at a higher level.
“I plan on playing soccer in college,” Silva said. “I’ve had the opportunity to visit and scrimmage with a few colleges and practice with their soccer teams. I plan on making my college decision in the upcoming months.”
