Michael Ripperger '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Michael Ripperger. I am a part of the 2019 graduating class of Batesville High School in Batesville, Indiana. I am a 3-year member of the varsity soccer team and a 2-year member of the varsity track team.  In the off season I play club soccer for Indy Premier on the U19 Elite team.

I would describe myself as a very hardworking player who wants to do anything I can to make myself and other players around me better. I play striker and left wing which are both very demanding physical positions. I have enough stamina to last a full game, due to my vigorous practice ethics. My personal feats are running the 1600m in 4:50. I also won conference MVP, was named 2^nd team All-District, and was the 11^th highest scorer in class 2A with 19 goals last year. Although I have accomplished those stats and awards, I want to be even better.  I’m always pushing myself to become a better player and a strong team leader for my senior year.  My main goal for next year is to lead my team far into the postseason and create a new winning tradition for future years to come for my high school soccer team.

My goals for after high school is to attend college and play soccer while getting a quality education. I am excited to take on the challenges that my post high school soccer career may bring as well as whatever career path I may go down, as I am one who doesn’t like to back down from a challenge. I want thank you for viewing my profile!
