Isabella Rizzo '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello! I am a Senior at Wauwatosa East high school, graduating in the class of 2024. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 and have grown to love the game. Currently, I play center attacking mid, but I can also play outside mid. I am a three-year starter on varsity for my high school and a two-year captain. I am also captain for my club team, MKSC Union (formerly MKSC Academy). I am a good teammate and player who is easily coach-able, takes my coaches feedback well (positive or negative), and uses it to improve myself as a player. 

My strengths as a player include:

1) My ability to think ahead of the play and anticipate what runs/what pass I should make, helping to move the ball down the field. One of my best assets is being the key play maker for my team. 

2) My fast footwork and dribbling ability allow me to move past defenders quickly and help me keep possession of the ball. 

3) My speed and endurance allow me to attack and get back on defense in a short amount of time. 

4) My soft touch helps me win balls out of the air and maintain possession. 

Beyond soccer I am taking all advanced classes (including multiple AP classes) and maintain a 3.9 GPA while also working part time teaching at soccer camps for younger kids. I'm excited at the prospect of playing soccer in college. I believe between my athletic and academic abilities I can be an asset to any team, and I look forward to all future opportunities. Thank you for your time and consideration!
