Ashley Schmaltz '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was four years old. That young my parents and myself realized that I had found a sport that I loved. Since than, I have always wanted to push myself to see how far I could go with this sport. Now that I am at the age of making college plans, I aspire to push myself to the next level and play collegiately.

On the field, I work hard. I will put all of my effort into trying to win the game and do the best for my team. I am a leader to my team and I always make sure we have a positive head on our shoulders and are working as hard as we can in practice and in play. I am easily coached and try to be one of the hardest working players on the field, I push myself to work as hard as I can so I can find new levels of play that I did not know I had.

In the classroom, I study as hard as I can no matter how late I have to stay up. I make sure all of my work is done on time and done to the best of my abilities.  At my former school, KingsWay Christian High School, I was a member of the Leadership team for my school. I was elected by the staff of the school and got to help lead the school in athletics and academically.

When it is time for me to pick the college I want to attend, I want that college to suit me right and push me to my potential abilities, academically and athletically. I am open to any options for college, but when I walk into that school, I want the sense of "wow, this is where I want to go and be apart of." My ultimate goal for college is to become a physical therapist, be able to have to opportunity of a lifetime to play soccer at a high level and to make myself and my family proud.
