Ocean Lipscomb '26 Recruiting Profile

As a student at a rigorous school, I’ve developed the ability to manage a demanding workload while maintaining composure under pressure. This skill translates directly to the soccer field, where I can block out the intensity of the game and focus entirely on my performance. As the captain of both my high school and club teams, I’ve learned what it truly means to be a leader—leading by example, staying calm in high-stress moments, and fostering a sense of unity among teammates. Whether it’s the fast pace or challenging situations, I remain focused.

My passion for soccer started after watching Liverpool play under Jurgen Klopp’s leadership. His high-energy, tactical approach to the game inspired me to take soccer serious and love the game. A defining moment for me was traveling to England in 2022 to see Liverpool play live. It was a dream come true that only increased my drive to continue developing my skills. Over time, I’ve learned that success requires constant adaptation, both on and off the field. I’ve overcome injuries which forced me to learn how to take care of my body and how to contribute to my team even when I wasn’t physically on the pitch. 

Academically, I’ve set strong foundations to prepare myself for college, and I’m looking for a program that will challenge me both academically and athletically. My goal is to pursue a career in Sports Medicine, as I want to stay close to the game that I truly love. I’m eager to find a college where I can thrive in the classroom and on the soccer field. With the ability to quickly process information, lead my team, and stay calm in high-pressure environments, I believe I bring a unique perspective and strong leadership to any team.
