Brynnley Connell '21 Recruiting Profile

At this moment I'm  undecided in regards to field of study. I'm looking for a college that offers best fit based on academics, athletics, student diversity. enrollment and scholarship opportunities.  All my life I've participated in athletics. Initially I was highly involved in gymnastics.  This sport was mentally and physically demanding as it's one of those sports where there is no room for mistakes and required 6 days a week of training.  I had a goal to become a FL State Champion. a goal I did achieve.  Following that accomplishment I wanted a new challenge.  My brother was a soccer player so I would say he influenced me to give soccer a try.  I signed with Florida Celtic SC in 2012 and have come to love the sport.  For me I'm different from other recruits because "soccer" didn't come easy.  Going from an individual sport to a team sport was different.  I had to learn to fulfill my responsibility and trust my teammates to do so as well.  I've grown each season as a player mainly because of the many extra private training sessions. Doing the little things to become better each day in order to reach my full potential.  I'm not the best player on my team but I strive to be the best teammate possible, be a good example on and off field. work hard, make others around me better people/teammates and keep academics above all other things.  My coaches/teammates have elected me Club Team Captain for the past 4 seasons and I was selected Team Captain for my HS team this season. I know I would be an asset to any college that will give me an opportunity!
