Baker is a jack of all trades in sports but her favourite by far is soccer.
“I basically play every school sport that’s offered,” says Baker. “Soccer is my main sport and I play outside of school as well.”
Baker plays competitively at the Tier 1 level in Bridgewater and she played on the Liverpool Regional High School team as well. She also played on a provincial team. She wants to take sciences in university and hopes to eventually get into medical school. Soccer is very competitive in university, but Baker hopes to continue to play there as well.
“It would be really fun, it’s kind of what I’ve been working toward,” says Baker.
“I’ve been playing soccer since I was six and all the other sports I picked up in school,” says Baker.
Baker trains with South Shore United Football Club, but the team doesn’t have enough players to play competitively.
Besides soccer, Baker does track and field, badminton, gymnastics, volleyball, and basketball. Gymnastics is a non-competitive recreational team.
All of this, plus coaching soccer for the Region of Queens in the summer, keeps Baker very busy. She often has to run from school to a practice, to a game, and then squeeze in homework.
“I like it that way,” says Baker.
She coaches soccer for children ages three to 11 in the summer and sometimes into the fall.
“It is fun, they’re so cute,” says Baker.
Good memories
Baker says one of her best soccer memories comes from when she played on a provincial team.
“I got to meet four Olympic soccer players, it was the year after (Canada) won the bronze,” says Baker.
She met Kristen Sinclair who is a top soccer player in Canada. She also got her photos taken with the women and got to hold an Olympic medal.
Getting into a varsity team is highly competitive. It helps to be on a competitive team outside of school because coaches for those teams can help with contacts at universities.
“They sort of give you an in that way,” says Baker.
Baker says teams often invite universities to games or practices. Another way is to fill out a form on the university’s website and create an athletic profile. Baker has done that for the three universities she is looking at attending.
“I did get a response from all of them so that was really exciting,” says Baker.
