Emily Lane '23 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was 9 years old after wanting to play a team sport rather than continue to compete in gymnastics which I consider to be more of an individual sport.  I wanted that feeling of being on a team and winning together rather than winning just for myself.  While I still like to watch gymnasts and believe they are phenomenal athletes I love the comradery and support of having teammates chasing the same end result..  

I have a strong work ethic both on and off the field.  My grades are very important to me and my first priority.  I believe good study habits are what will lead me to be a better athlete by teaching me off the field how to prioritize, strategize, learn and excel. I play every game to win but in a defeat I can always walk away knowing I did my best because I value effort as much as I do skill.  Both my current and former coaches will tell you I am very coachable and open to new positions that they feel both I and the team would benefit from playing.  My teachers have always said I am a model student whom they can always count on me to do my work on time and with my best effort.
