Maria Savvides '21 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a big part of my life since the age of eight. I love a challenge and my goal has always been to play abroad. I am a very hard working and dedicated person. I never gave up no matter how difficult and challenging times can get and that's why I had three successful years playing in a first league Championship. 

Teamwork, leadership and communication are some of my best skills that helped me to work and have good relationship with my teammates. My best features that make me stand out from other players is my good technique and my high Football IQ. I am aware of where my teammates and opponents are and I can position myself correctly to either make myself available or a teammate.

I am a disciplined and a motivated person which can be proved by the fact that I persevere my sporting challenges and, at the same time, not allowing it to affect my academic efforts. I am eager to learn and work with new players and coaches to help me become better everyday.  

Moreover I would love to study exercise science as it fully matches my ambitions and it will help me to learn and help athletes in need. I am a firm advocate of sport through science which, as we witnessed in all major events, allows new athletes to break records and create their own precedent through understanding their sporting and individual limits. I believe that this study will help me get evolved with the sport and grow in character.

 I can assure that I will approach my studies and my sporting challenges with discipline, determination and excitement.
