Savannah Goodwin '22 Recruiting Profile

Above all, I am a student athlete, family and Christ oriented person. I have played soccer almost all my life, which sounds almost standard, but soccer has interlaced itself into my personality and goals. No matter where I have gone, soccer has been a key part of my life. From playing tiny tot soccer, to balancing soccer and football in my hometown, to moving and slowly becoming apart of my new favorite team.

But what makes me different? Firstly, I put academics very high on my list. I moved from Little Rock to Fayetteville, Arkansas to finish my senior year as a fully concurrent student at the University of Arkansas and NorthWest Arkansas Community College. Mostly because I realized I hadn't done enough academically and decided it wasn't too late to start preparing for college. I try my best to face diversity and put myself in difficult situations. I feel as though it's something I have to do in life to truly understand myself and others. I strongly believe that exposure is the best way to learn and develop. 

Simply put, I want to find a team that I belong to. A team that will accept, encourage, and support each other on and off the field. After being in so many different environments like high school soccer, club soccer, boys football, and the private school system, I've found that the number one thing necessary is genuine acceptance and encouragement. I hope to find a team that will build me into a better soccer player and form me into a better person on the foundation of friendship and camaraderie. I can play anywhere on the field with either foot, and would be more than happy just to be apart.
