Dara Naismith '25 Recruiting Profile

I have played soccer from the time I was 4 years old and, over the last 12 years, have developed a passion for the sport.  I would love to compete at the University level in the United States and believe I have the attributes and abilities to contribute to a successful team.  

I am very coachable and always open to feedback and new challenges.  

My goals include developing my skills on & off the pitch. I’m seeking the opportunities that University soccer programs provide to push me beyond my comfort zone and limits to new possibilities.   I love being part of a team, and have the work ethic to rise to the challenge that high level competition presents.  I am seeking a University program that will push me to build my character as a teammate and as an independent, productive person.  I offer a mature presence, and appreciate being around others who hold themselves to high expectations and show up with their best effort everyday.   I am highly motivated in both my soccer pursuits and academics, as shown in my current training & game schedule, as well as academic grades.

I have a great sense of humour, a determined drive and strong support from my family to help me every step of the way in my goals.
