Kyle Lehnert '19 Recruiting Profile

    As I begin the process of college recruiting my determination and goal of being a solid part of a college soccer program continues to grow stronger.  I am a strong, physical defender and the team captain on my  SOCA U-17 Elite team.  I help my teammates solve problems on the field by consistently communicating.  I have a strong soccer IQ, mentality,  passion and respect for the game.  Academically,   I have great relationships with my teachers. I push myself choosing more challenging classes taking AP as well as pre-calculus honors.  While in college, I am considering studying physical therapy or business marketing.  

    The biggest takeaway from my soccer career so far was when my SOCA U-15 Elite team lost in the State Cup Finals in 2015.  Before the game I was more excited then I had ever been, determined to help bring home the championship.  Unfortunately, we lost 1-0 and after the game I realized that I would have to work twice as hard to help my team get back to that position the following year.  As I went through the year,  I became a better,  smarter more determined player.  So far it has paid off.  Now my team and I are in the quarterfinals more prepared that the year before. 

    As I grow as both a player and a student, I believe that my passion, determination and love for knowledge and the game of soccer makes me a great soccer recruit.
