Samantha Spiegelman '22 Recruiting Profile

Since I first stepped on the soccer field, I dreamed to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing soccer in college is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that would change my entire life, never mind my collegiate experience. I want to show other girls that you don’t have to play in the ECNL, DA, ODP, or GA, or play for an out-of-reach expensive club to get recruited and play college soccer. You have to have grit, determination, a bit of talent, a lot of hard work, and most of all, a good heart and a deep love for the game.

I have very strong legs, I am fast, and can sprint from one area to another gaining possession of the ball in an opposing play, covering my teammate, or blocking an attacker. I have great technical skills and I am an extremely reliable player. I always push myself on the field. I'm very coachable, and I am always learning new ways to improve my game. I believe I am one of the hardest working players, as well as one of the hardest working recruits you'll ever find.

I also work hard in my academics and maintain a high unweighted GPA, taking honors and dual-enrollment with my full-time online school. I have collected over 425 hours volunteering at the International Game Fish Association, in addition to volunteer work with my leadership position in the NHS, and at my local library. I also hold a job at a coffeehouse and restaurant in my town.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the field. I would prefer to be near the East coast of Florida so I can be close to my family, but I am open to all options and I want to find the best college match at the highest level of competition I can possibly compete at.
