Samuel Newmyer ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My collegiate goals and aspirations include playing soccer at the highest level possible at a school with a very strong academic reputation.  I plan to pursue a career in the medical field, possibly physical therapy, athletic training or even pre-med.  I would be a great candidate for your team because I am very coachable, hard-working, a leader, and I am a team player.  I am different from other recruits because I have a strong morale compass and know right from wrong.  I enjoy spending time with people of all walks of life and I'm respectful of differences that people have.  Since I overcame a major injury, I have great mental fortitude and I know how to overcome obstacles, set goals, and how to stay focused even during the times that may seem frustrating. I have a very high soccer high Q and I"m a student of the game.  I played for Atlanta United DA for 3.5 years and now am playing for NASA ECNL.  My high technical ability and soccer IQ are two qualities that give me great vision on the field.  Since I began soccer at a very young age, I have set goals for myself both academically and in soccer.  It has taken strong time management skills to balance soccer practice every night and maintaining my grades.
