Amiana Mata '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Amiana Mata. Currently, I am a Junior at Florida Southwestern Collegiate High School working in the Early Enrollment program on my Associates Degree. I will graduate in Spring of 2023 with my High School Diploma and my Associates Degree. Although academics has always came easy for me, I would like to pursue furthering my career in soccer. Soccer is a passion of mine that I discovered when I was 8 years old. I live in a rural community where there is not a lot of opportunities for girls in soccer. Therefore, from age 10 to 14 I played on an all boys Competitive Team.   Although some would perceive this experience as unpleasant, I have learned resiliency. When I turned 15 I decided to travel to the closest girls competitive team located in the next county over. I have played with them for the last two seasons. I am grateful to have these unique experiences contribute to my success on the field as a starting mid-fielder. I am excited and eager to see how these experiences will further help me advance my career as a college athlete.
