NYC Footy's 4th NYCFC Captain of the Match: Linda Saraguro

Linda is one of the most recent additions to the NYC Footy Captains club, having learned how to play soccer only one year ago.

Linda started her soccer journey through BetterPlayer, and after hopping around to a few free agent teams, secretly scouting the local talent, she formed Hardly Athletic FC! 

Linda's passion for the game is contagious; even drawing people back to the game after more than ten years off the pitch.

Everyone on Hardly Athletic FC is inspired by and shares Linda's drive, competitiveness, and particularly her love for post-game analysis over half-off drinks.

When she's not playing, Linda is a software engineer of considerable pedigree.

Linda works at Giant Machines and took first place Essteem's 2019 Hackathon Challenge!

Her commitment to code and community goes even further, as shown during her time spent volunteering for Upperline Code, a program that teaches coding to underprivileged high school students.

We, and her teammates, are better for having Linda on the pitch. She represents how so much can happen and change in such a short amount of time if you really want it to.

Thank you Linda for being our 4th Captain of the Match!
