Elena Czerkies '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Lanie Czerkies and I have been a multi-sport athlete all my life, but soccer has always been my favorite. I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old, but didn't join a club team until I was 13. Even though I started club soccer much later than most players, I have pushed myself to improve everyday and become a starter on my team. I have learned to be dedicated to soccer and am always ready to hear how I can improve and help my teammates on the field. I feel that bringing positive energy is something that every player should do on and off the field. My strengths on the field are my speed, agility, coach-ability, and ability to pass and share the ball. Even though I am not sure what I want to major in, my education is a big priority for choosing a school. My main goal is to go to a school that challenges me both academically and athletically.
