She is not only a good soccer player, but she leads the state in steals for the Solon basketball team. Josie has a good combination of speed, technical skills, and athletic ability in her game. She is a dangerous player in the attacking half of the field, specializing on 1-v-1 potency, goal scoring, and having good vision to command the ball and set up her teammates for opportunities.
