Melody Roberts '20 Recruiting Profile

Playing soccer is my passion. It is something I have worked hard for, trained hard for every day to become better than I was the day before. I've been playing soccer for 9 to 10 years. Over these years I have progressed into the player I am today. I obtain a work hard effort. Giving up is never an option for me no matter how hard I fall I will always get back up and keep pushing, no matter what the score board says I will keep going. The relationship with my team is very important for me. We fight together and we will fall together, but we will always help each other back up. What makes me different from other players is my attitude. I was nominated a $1,000 scholarship from the Excellence In Sportsmanship (EIS) during the summer tournaments. My defensive plays, as a sweeper, will always show aggression and effort. The number one thing I remind myself and my team is if the ball is going, we keep going. And no matter what, I will always get back up and keep pushing.
