Colten Atkinson '21 Recruiting Profile

I am passionate about soccer.  I love the game.  I love being a part of a team.  I work hard and put in a lot of extra time working on my sport.  It's a dream of mine to play soccer in college.  My goal would be to play for all four years while obtaining my degree.  Currently, I'm thinking of studying psychology, specifically criminal and forensics.  Unfortunately, my junior season was cancelled this spring due to Covid-19.  I had a really successful sophomore season last year and hope to get the chance to beat my own records as a senior next year.  I was All-State and All-Conference as a forward.  I scored the most goals in the state of Wyoming in 4A and set two records for goal scoring at my high school. I participate in local clubs as well.  I was nominated for Region IV camp 3 times and went once.  It was a great experience.  I was asked to go to a camp in San Sebastian, Spain and had the amazing experience of going in December 2017 and again in February of 2019.   I am a competitor.  I love to win and willing to put in the work it takes.  I've been called a quiet leader by my coaches, leading through my actions on and off the field and always building up my teammates. I'm hard-working, dedicated, coachable, and easy to be around.  I strive for straight A's, I'm focused at school.  I also compete in indoor track.  This junior year I took 2nd in the 200m, 3rd in the 400m and our 4x200 relay team are state champs.  I enjoy sprinting and an added benefit is being ready for soccer season.   I was Varsity in football and tennis as well.
