Sophie Goodwin '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Sophie Goodwin. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 and have always dreamt of playing at college. I have played on multiple club teams since I was 7. I made the school's varsity soccer team as a Freshman and was selected as one of the team captains. Besides soccer, I also play Basketball, XC, and Track.  

Playing multiple sports has prepared me to become the student-athlete that I am today. I work extremely hard in becoming the best that I can be in each sport that I play.  In addition to those sports, I also do my best to excel in the classroom. I have a 3.852 GPA and take honor classes when available.  All these accomplishments are helping to prepare me for the next level in athletics and academics.

On the pitch, I have worked many years on my footwork and ball-handling skills. Great team player, I've scored and assisted on many goals throughout my career. I helped my high school teammates learn the game and taught them skills as our program developed. Being one of the most experienced players on my soccer team, I played a new position that helped our team. I was able to direct players with my leadership and lead them to a winning record in their inaugural season.  

In addition to soccer, I have excelled in Basketball and XC/Track.  I have many accomplishments in those sports as well.  Played AAU/Travel since I was in 3rd grade, and dressed varsity as a freshman. In XC/Track, I made the Junior High State Finals in 3 events, and as a Freshman made the XC State Finals. while playing Varsity Soccer at the same time.   These sports have helped me round out my skills in soccer.  Basketball helps my hand-eye coordination,  and keeps my footwork solid when not during soccer season.  Track and XC keep in great athletic condition while giving me a chance to compete at a high level. 

I want to attend a college where I can shine in the classroom and on the field. I'm open to all options and ultimately want to find the right college for my athletic and academic interests that let me compete at a high level.
