Ella Byerly '23 Recruiting Profile

Playing soccer is my happy place in life. I have been playing the sport since I was 4, and all the way up to now I have faced some challenges,  but that never stopped me.  I am a hard worker and I never give up when things are difficult . I haven’t just faced obstacles in soccer but in life as well. My older sister is a big part in my life. She is on the spectrum and has intellectual disabilities, she has faced challenges her whole life and never gives up. She is someone who I look up to on the field and off the field.  On the field I show high energy and when things aren’t going well it doesn't stop me from being the player who changes the game. I also  have played soccer with my twin sister Averie my whole life and she inspires me to keep doing what I’m doing and make myself and others the best they can be.
