Patricia Felder '23 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. My competitive nature and my long standing passion for actively playing the sport is what pushes me to want to continue my athletic career in college. Through these last 12 years, I have learned a lot about the sport and have created a strong soccer IQ and situational experience. In addition, I have become a versatile and coach-able player, since I have played many positions over the years and learned new skills or concepts very quickly. Being able to run for long periods of time with good speed, I have good endurance and athleticism, qualities that are essential for the sport of soccer.  

From a young age, I have been a hard worker with a plan-to-action mentality. My parents have inspired me to try a lot without fear of failure and be driven, while also valuing my integrity. My maturity has grown tremendously in the past couple years for a high schooler, since I have taken on many hard class while still maintaining a 4.0 GPA, playing club soccer 3-5 times a week, playing varsity Tennis everyday from August to October, taking on a job as a hostess at a restaurant 5-10 hours a week, and tutoring a younger child (9) and driving her to her activities but still keeping up a social life and enjoying my teenage years. It has taught me time management skills and responsibility in order to get all my work in compliance of my high standards.

I look forward to continuing my academic and athletic career at an institution that will challenge and support my future endeavors, as well have likeminded values.
