Mónica González played at the highest level of Mexican soccer, representing her country in both the 1999 Women’s World Cup and the 2004 Olympics in Athens. In 2009, with her chances to play dwindling, González switched to coaching by teaching girls from low income families in Chicago. Today, her Gonzo Soccer academies span three countries: the U.S., Colombia, and Mexico.
The most recent academy is in Mexico City, which opened in December 2013. It offers girls more than just soccer skills by providing academic assistance and life training skills. Some of the girls are so poor they cannot even afford a soccer ball and must practice at home with water bottles or whatever else they can kick around.
