Valeria Pereira '22 Recruiting Profile

The biggest hightlight of my student athlete career has been when I made it to the National U-15 on two ocassions and U-17.  However, even though I was a starter on all teams, for various reasons I didn't have the opportunity to play at any official games.  My biggest dissapointment was when I missed my last Varsity and Senior season due to injury.  However, I became the backbone of my team and supported them until the final game.  I honestly believe these episodes have made me stronger and a more determined player than ever.  Always trying and working harder on my physical strenght and food habits to become an even better prospect and be able to play at college level which has always been my dream. 

I was a gymnast for 5 years at very early age and have played flag football and soccer most of my student life.  I know what it takes to be a college team player after being captain at all my teams all these years and a true leader to myself and my teammates.  I consider myself a player and person with a very high sence of work ethic yet very much determined in achieving the goals I set for myself.  

I look for a college that I can be challenged not only academically but, athetically as well.  I like challenges and overcoming obstacles.  I count on excellent communication skills by being a good listener and very patient.  I have no doubt I am the right fit and the kind of teamplayer you need for the team.
