Jacey Pederson - Palo Alto Soccer - Highlights/Interview

The Pederson family knows professional sports. Jacey's brother Joc plays outfield for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and her father Stu and brother Tyger also spent time in the Dodgers organization. But it's her oldest brother Champ who inspires Jacey most—despite having Down syndrome, he has never let anything hold him back from supporting her athletic journey.

Jacey has carved her own path in soccer, earning recognition with USA Soccer programs since age 14. Her versatility on the field and work ethic have earned her a commitment to UCLA, where she'll pursue her goal of reaching the U.S. Women's National Team.
