Bryce Burkhart '25 Recruiting Profile

"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." - Pele

My goal for my collegiate journey is to follow an academic track that allows me the opportunity to combine my love for sports and medicine. I would like to pursue Sports Medicine whether that be through premed, athletic training, or physical therapy.

My love for soccer began when I was three years old. My birthday is in late September, so I have always been one of the youngest on the team. Like any three year old, I loved scoring goals. I joined my first soccer club when I was six. I played right wing until my seventh grade year when my middle school team found itself without a goalie. I volunteered thinking it would only be temporary and it stuck. I never thought I could love soccer more than I already did but somehow my passion for the game grew. I always doubted myself as an athlete, but being in goal has given me confidence in myself and my athletic abilities. I learn something new every single game and continue to grow as a goalkeeper. I pride myself on my reaction time and the fact that despite being in goal I remain one of the fastest players on my team. I continually work on my strength, stamina, and agility to remain competitive. 

Outside of school and club soccer, I am a junior volunteer at my local fire department. Although, I am unable to respond to calls; I enjoy the camaraderie and knowing the tasks I complete help contribute to the bigger picture. 

I hope to continue my soccer journey at the collegiate level. I look forward to continue to grow as an athlete and a human being.
