Sydney Smith '15 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate aspirations include finding a home in a school where I fit both academically and athletically. I have been a leader on and off the field in several ways. I was voted Captain of my club team for the past 2 years. I have refereed for 8 clubs for the past 4 years, which allowed me to see the game from a different perspective. Most importantly, I've made it a priority to give back to my community and participating in service projects that can reach around the world. In the past five years I have sent over fourteen 55-gallon drums, filled with over 1,500 new and used sports gear items, to small villages in Liberia, West Africa. I believe my willingness to not only see the need in others, but taking action to make a difference in their lives, has helped make me a better leader. I would be a good teammate because I have a strong work ethic, a desire to grow and learn and a willingness to be the best I can be.  I want more than anything to have the opportunity to do what I love for the next four years.
