Lauren Carmichael '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a determined, focused and competitive player in my 10th year playing soccer. I am currently playing on the Florida Premier ECNL-R team but have played on ECNL and last summer played on the Florida Premier Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL). I was the youngest on the WPSL team and was rostered for every game playing a minimum of 75% of the games.  Soccer has taught me to never give up, fight for what I want, to be a team player and that losing a game shouldn't make you put yourself down or think negatively. It encourages you to do better and to figure out what can help you and others do better next time.  Soccer has helped me build character by having good sportsmanship, teaching me discipline, and communicating with my teammates and coaches. 

I am in my Junior year and just finished my third year on the high school Varsity team as a starter and I have been placed as a Captain for several games.  I was just awarded the Offensive Player of the Year for the SAC West Conference. I continue to exceed goals that I set and never let hard work stop me. I am left footed but can use my right if needed. I normally play left wing and left back but am a versatile player and can play other positions.  I have been told I am a natural at soccer, with excellent technical skills and extremely coachable.
