Olivia Williams '20 Recruiting Profile

My primary longer term goal is to succeed in a career in medicine,  perhaps in kinesiology/sports medicine or anesthesiology.  With this comes rigorous academic work and the desired grades to support this goal to continue my higher education.  I am a hard-working, responsible student and I push myself academically because I am goal-oriented; these same attributes have translated on and off the field as a soccer player.  But to couple my academic goals with the personal joy I feel playing soccer would be the ultimate challenge, and gratification in becoming a well-rounded human being. I have been told through my eight years of playing with highly competitive Club teams, that I am "extremely coachable" and strategically astute.  I understand that practice and dedication improve me as a player.  I step up as a leader when needed yet am also respected team member.  In addition to playing with integrity and passion,  my individual competitive advantages include being: a versatile player in multiple positions,  physically strong offensively and defensively,  and speed of running.
