Kaleihalia Tolentino-Perry '17 Recruiting Profile

I want to graduate with a conservation or environmental studies degree and pursue a masters in a agricultural conservation management or related field. I also have interest in sports medicine. I would like to achieve these goals while playing soccer at the collegiate level and hope to return to my community and join the work force in a leadership position. I value good  work ethic when preparing for competition and want to be in the leadership role among my teammates and coaches. Because I can see the field well during high pressure, I like to communicate with my teammates to believe in our system. My coaches depend on my understanding of the sport to carry out the game strategy. I believe in practicing my fundamentals and techniques on my own during my free time because natural skill only takes me so far. I rely on hard work to improve my skill set and always look forward to soccer camps so I can learn from different coaches. Playing soccer at the college level is a dream to me and I am dedicated in the classroom to help myself achieve this goal.
