Kiomari Chavez ‘17 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I have been playing soccer since I was about nine or ten years old but started taking it more serious when I was about thirteen or fourteen. Where I grew up, people in the community could just make their own teams all from the age range of 15+ and we would all participate in church fundraising tournaments. Throughout those years of playing soccer in Russellville, AL , I have played against some full grown women which lead me to lose fear of pressuring and attacking my opponent. I have excellent defending skills and I am extremely aggressive. I can play any defense or midfield positions and I anticipate to enhance my skill as forward as well. I like to be pushed and I have a strive for learning new things and I am very easy to coach. I always thought that playing for a college or even national soccer team was a far fetched dream but I know that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I did not put forth the blood, sweat, and tears and give it a shot.
