Check out her trademark move to understand why the fuss.

With the acrobatic help of the Somersault Princess, who plays back home â Illinois, it is â for the Wheaton Academy Warriors and Team Chicago, Brazil is pounding the opponents and will be a certain presence at the U20 WomenâÂÂs World Cup, in Chile. We canâÂÂt wait to see more of her.
