Natalie Tempelman '24 Recruiting Profile

I have played soccer since I was 3 years old and love it! I am sandwiched between 2 brothers so I learned to play with my older brother and his friends which helped develop my toughness. Over the years I have played for REAL CO ECNL and DPL and currently play for CO Elevation FC. Every season I am learning and developing. I have attended many showcases and ID camps which have helped me refine my game. I have really enjoyed my soccer journey so far and am excited for what college has to offer. I am still in the recruiting process since I missed my junior year due to a 13 month recovery due to a knee injury. It takes perseverance, dedication, hard work and humility to come back from a major injury.I have had to dig deep and work really hard to get back on the field and it feels amazing to be back.  I am strong, physical two footed player in the midfield. I know there are many things that are important factors for being a good candidate for college soccer. I believe every athlete brings their own unique strengths and qualities to a team. Athletic ability, dedication, teamwork, work ethic, character, and coachablity are qualities that are important in a player and I offer all of these qualities.
