Alexandra Howell '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was in 6th grade. My seventh grade year, I was pulled from the middle school team to the Varsity team at my school. Although I did not get the amount of playing time that year that I wanted, I learned a lot and gained experience that I believe puts me in a better place than most of my teammates and opponents in my district. Over the summer I have been training with my coach, who is also a personal trainer, at least 5 days a week, when only 4 is required, and practicing with my team 3 times a week. As a result from my hard work, I am now a captain of both my school team and club team. I have had two jobs in the past year. I was employed at Publix as a bagger until adding more soccer and another club team. Over the past couple months, I have worked for my dad as his personal assistant Monday through Thursday. I also have been playing the viola for the past 5 years and have had numerous achievements regarding orchestra. Some of which are when I was seated 3rd chair out of 17 in the middle school Allstate Honors Orchestra and being invited to play in the college orchestra at FAU. I played volleyball 2 years for my school, but quit because I wanted to pursue a future in soccer instead. I have the desire to play college soccer and maybe even get the chance to try it outside of school once I graduate. I am also currently in the National Honors Society and was chosen for Florida Allstate Orchestra for 2018.
