Helena Wetherall '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Helena! I'm an International student based in Switzerland and have been playing soccer since I was a kid, and started considering a future in it while watching the 2018 soccer men's worldcup.  The first time I played with a team I was 11; I've always been a goalie and it's always and still is my goal to play for a big team professionally and represent my country in the future (England). I constantly want to improve my  game, which is why I often go to to soccer pitches during the weekends to train and improve (i.e: my place and dropkicks). I think of myself as a determined and positive person on the pitch, I've been told that I talk to my players a lot during games as well. I keep a positive mindset during any game whether we're wining or losing (whether we're losing 1-0 or 7-0 I'll always keep going);  and If we do lose, then I take it as a lesson and look at my mistakes and make lists of what I can do to improve my game). I'm really determined to play d1 soccer at college.
