Kyle Benjamin Saulter '23 Recruiting Profile

In college, I would like to earn up to a master's degree in the engineering field or a doctorate in particle physics. While earning these degrees, I hope to not lose the athletic part of my life and either compete/play against other soccer players. What makes me a good candidate for a college soccer program is how I define myself. My parents never had the money to afford to play at a club, but I made sure to play at the highest level, whether it be at practice, going out with friends, or competing against other teams. Though I may not be the tallest on the field, my presence would be felt on all sides of the ball. What separates me from other recruits is my perseverance. On the field and off the field, I would occasionally have hardships; however, I don't let those hardships drag my character down— I use them to learn and strengthen my character. In athletics, a distinguishable trait I have is my ability to improve exponentially. Throughout my four years of high school soccer, I have been my program's most improved player each year. In my sophomore year, I improved my 1-on-1 defending and changed how teams played against us. In my junior year, I significantly improved my precision passing. And in my senior year, I became a threat on the ball with my dribbling. In academics, I would always try to understand the concepts presented to me in my classes. I was never satisfied with below-average scores and would consult with the teacher as to why I made that mistake. With that, more and more of those around me would go to me for help, and I'd always make sure my understanding could help others.
