Tania Valiente

A calm Uruguayan goalkeeper, she commands her box with breathtaking diving and feline reflexes that more than compensate for her occasional struggle with routine catches. Overcoming the trauma of a childhood struggle with public speaking, she channeled that anxiety into an ironclad focus that allows her to dominate penalty takers with uncanny composure. She is now an impenetrable wall, turning every past setback into the explosive power that defines her career.
