Julianna Pedicini '26 Recruiting Profile

My passion for soccer started at the age of 3 with my father as my personal coach. He taught me how to work hard, never give up, and always try to be better than I was yesterday. I have been playing competitive/ high school soccer since 7th grade. I am a hard-working, team-oriented, and aggressive player who is determined to perform at the highest level possible. My favorite part about soccer is trying to be there and make an impact for my team. I like to bring a spark to my team whether that means bringing that extra intensity or being willing to work harder to inspire others. I aspire to be a player that puts in the hard work and is coachable to help my team be successful. My parents have been there to strengthen my desire to maintain my education, continue to grow, and pursue soccer as a passion in my life. I am grateful for the many hours we spend together on the road and hearing them cheer as I do something I love so much. On top of my education, and my competitive soccer team, I have also enjoyed aspects of coaching new players in camps for my club and now understand how important a coach can be in someone's life. The impact I have already received when I come across these younger players makes the time and effort so rewarding to inspire others in the sport.
