Pena, a member of the 2009 All-Marine soccer team, has been playing high-level soccer for nearly 25 years. “When I was a kid I always played against older age groups,” the McAllen, Texas, native explained. “[When] I was 8-years-old I was playing with kids who were 11. When I was 11, I was playing against 14-year-olds. Apparently they saw something in me back then.”
