Kyan Rieder '24 Recruiting Profile

I hadn't had any Keeper coaching until this past year when I spent a month with a professional Keeper who trained me daily in Scottsdale. 

My journey as a soccer player began when my mom committed suicide a few years ago. I needed something to keep my mind and body busy so I started playing soccer.  In her memory, I made it my mission to become the best player on the field every practice and game. Playing as a keeper, I have honed my skills and had 48 saves in our last 2 playoff games, leading the state in save percentage.  I don't get rattled and have experienced more adversity than most will in their lifetime. Furthermore, I am proud to have been selected for the Olympic Development Program (ODP). This experience has allowed me to refine my abilities and compete at a higher level. Additionally, I was chosen to participate in the All-Star game for the Exact camp in Georgia I attended, further demonstrating my dedication and talent, while also being selected as the best goaltender at camp.  I played for the top team at CMYSA 20U, beating out two keepers who play for Division 2 teams.  

With my unwavering determination, commitment to excellence, and passion for both soccer and winning, I am confident that I would be a valuable asset to your program and organization. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your continued success and growth. I am a Captain of multiple soccer teams and my hockey team.  I have become a leader on and off the field, both by example and when need be, vocally.
