Taylor Mumford '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Taylor Mumford, and I am a 17 year old athlete (2004 born) committed to pursuing a high level of soccer, in fall of 2022. Soccer has been a significant part of my life for nearly 15 years now, as I began to pursue the sport at 2 years of age. As I began,  just a desire to play at a young age, it has transferred to become a major part of who I am and created the seeking opportunity to play at college/university level.  It has created a life goal of mine and I will continually put in my full effort and dedication to achieve it. Hard work and determination is what has brought me to the place I am today and I believe these attributes are strongly apparent while I am in the net playing. 

I believe soccer is a highly competitive sport and is played through the game style of possession. Attributes that make me a valuable soccer recruit include, my ball possession, my ability to be able to see the playing field alongside my high game acuity, my reaction time and most importantly my ball skills of being able to easily transfer the field of play and to quickly move across the net.  I was also previously a field player, which I think gives me a better understanding of what field players think and foot skills that many goalkeepers don't have. I'm a highly coach-able player and an excellent team player because of my ability to communicate with others.
