Payton Fitzgerald '17 Recruiting Profile

Soccer is my life. I have played competitive soccer for 8 years now. I have played for my travel team, QVSA, for 3 years 2010-2013. I am a versatile player, with many assists, goals, and accurate passes. I am the lead scorer for my high school team, Killingly High School. I have been a starter for my high school team since I was a freshman.

My strengths on the field include; my speed, anticipation of 50/50 balls out of the air, and aggressiveness.  These attributes make it difficult for the opposing team to cover and ultimately lead to the goals that I've scored.  I try to lead by example.  One of my best qualities is my ability to be a team player, I encourage my teammates, striving to help them succeed, because without them we can't win.

My main position is forward, but my coach sometimes plays me outside midfielder cause of my speed and great crosses to the middle. I play the game with my heart and knowledge of how to play and win. I work very hard and never quit. I believe that I will be a successful athlete at the college level. Like the many goals I score, one of my goals is to play soccer in college.
