Brianna Figueroa '21 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals include earning a degree in Kinesiology to become a Physical Therapist and being apart of a competitive soccer team.  I consider myself to be a great candidate for your team because I am a dedicated and hard working teammate; striving to better myself along with my teammates.  In addition, I volunteer my time coaching and training Lil Spurs, which is a program where 3-6 year olds begin learning how to play soccer.  I believe it is important to help young athletes pursue their goals on and off the field.  

While athletics are very important to me, academics comes first.  I put all my effort into getting the best grades possible and challenge myself to take harder courses.  I am a junior taking Honors and AP classes, as well as maintaining straight A's.  While being a student-athlete is difficult at times, I know how to stay organize and manage my time to accommodate both.  

I am looking for a college that has a balance between athletics and academics.  I would like to pursue a university with an excellent academic reputation.  My athletic environment would be one where I could make a positive impact on the team.  Financial assistance is going to be very important to me in the college selection process as I have two other sibling going to college.  I would also be willing to travel far but not out of state, as I am very close with my family.  Ideally, I would love a school that is welcoming and excels in academics.
