Shayla Hoeft: “This is what I wanted for myself” | OneFootball

Raised among the idyllic landscapes of Hawaii, after three visits to Porto, she felt "a calling" that led her to choose FC Porto over any other club. Shayla Hoeft is one of the new faces of the team coached by Miguel Coelho, with whom she maintains "a good relationship," but the reasons that brought her to Invicta go far beyond volleyball.

It was precisely here that she recently celebrated her 27th birthday, and it is also here that she aspires to "find happiness"; however, she reminds us that without "a good work ethic," "you won't get anywhere." The American middle blocker considers herself "a good team player," does not hide that "being a champion is very important," and states that what is experienced at FC Porto is "very special and very rare." In this conversation with DRAGÕES, Shayla Hoeft also reveals how she manages to disconnect from volleyball when necessary, although everything leads her to think only about "making the Porto family proud."
