Jennifer Padilla '15 Recruiting Profile

My dreams and goals mean so much to me.  My goals begin with graduating high school and getting into a four year college.  I would like to attend a college where I'll be able to continue to play soccer, get an education to prepare me for life, and make lifetime friendships.  I haven't narrowed my selection on a specific college yet although I do have some in mind.  When I get into college I would like be on the starting Women's Soccer Team all four years.  My dreams consists of having a job where I can do something that I love and can wake up looking forward to going to work.  My dreams and goals are to be involved with soccer forever!  Whether it be as a trainer, a coach, a manager, or even in sports medicine, sports psychology as long as it involves soccer.  Soccer is my life.  Everyday.   All the time.  Soccer is constantly on my mind. Soccer has been such a great experience for me.  My family has always been involved in the sport.  My grandfathers coached.  My uncles played. My father played also.  Soccer has given me the opportunity to travel and meet a lot of people and make great  friends.  It is more than just a sport.  It has made my life so enjoyable.  I can't see myself doing anything else.  I would like to teach everything it has taught me such as discipline, fitness, committment, team work to my children and perhaps children of my community.  My coaches, teachers and parents always remind me that anything we put our mind to can be achieved.
