Braxton Pickett '28 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated 15-year-old soccer player with a passion for the game that I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I joined my first team at age 5, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to play in various positions. This has given me a better understanding of the game and helped me develop a strong appreciation for teamwork, strategy, and discipline. As a freshman, I earned a spot on my high school’s varsity soccer team and gained valuable experience competing against older, more experienced players. That season taught me how to adapt quickly, play with confidence under pressure, and contribute meaningfully to a team environment.

My love for soccer drives me to constantly challenge myself to improve both on and off the field. I pride myself on being coachable, hardworking, and focused on improving both technically and tactically. I bring high energy and discipline to every training session, and I’m always seeking ways to grow as a player and a teammate. Currently, I play as a winger and striker, where I bring speed, agility, and creativity to my game. I’m always looking for opportunities to create scoring chances and help my team succeed. My ability to read the game allows me to position myself effectively and make quick decisions in key moments. I thrive under pressure, enjoy competitive challenges, and am committed to pushing myself to the next level every day.

To me, soccer is all about teamwork. I take pride in maintaining a positive attitude and supporting my teammates. I believe success isn’t just about individual performance; it’s about helping everyone improve and work together toward a common goal. I want to motivate my teammates, especially during tough moments, and I see myself as a potential leader on the field. I stay focused and encourage others to stay determined, no matter the circumstances.

I train hard each week to improve my skills, stay fit, and prepare for whatever challenges come my way. I know soccer requires commitment, and I’m dedicated to putting in the work, both on and off the field, to continue my growth as a player.

In addition to soccer, I also value my academics and work hard to maintain a solid GPA. I want to become a collegiate soccer player, and I know that being a student-athlete requires a strong balance between sports and schoolwork. I am committed to continuing to improve in both areas and I understand that discipline, time management, and focus are key to achieving success in every part of life.

I’m excited about the opportunity to continue growing as a player and aim to compete at a higher level in the future. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile, and I look forward to the chance to show what I can do!
