Anna Zimmerman '26 Recruiting Profile

I've played soccer since I was 5 years old and it has become an integral part of my life. Soccer has shown me the importance of dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. I've learned to show up and put in the work—even if I'm tired, sore, or having a bad day. I love the special sense of community and friendship that you can only find on the soccer field, and I am grateful that soccer has allowed me to connect with so many amazing people. In practice and in games I always try to encourage my teammates and give them the confidence to be their best. I truly believe that soccer has the potential to bring out your best qualities; for me, soccer allows me to be strong, brave, and confident. The feeling of pride I get after a good game or practice is unparalleled. I'm looking for a program that values hard work and community, and can help me become the best soccer player, and person, that I can be.
