Natalie Rudman ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Since I can't imagine a day without soccer, I can't imagine a college experience without soccer.  My name is Natalie Rudman and I attend Gilbert HIgh School in Gilbert, IA.  I have earned a 4.0 GPA all four semesters.  I was the leading scorer on my high school soccer team with 25 goals my freshman year.  I was named 1st Team All District and 1st Team All Conference.  I also play club soccer for both Ames Soccer Club and Iowa ODP. 

My goals for college are to: excel academically, belong to and contribute to my soccer team,  be involved in campus life, and make lifelong friends and memories that cause me to grow and become a better version of myself.  I am an excellent teammate because I work hard constantly, try to lead by example, encourage my teammates, desire feedback and am always looking for ways to improve on and off the field.   I have worked continuously on my technical skills, soccer IQ, and overall speed and fitness.   I try to make the most of every opportunity I am given and learn from the mistakes I make.  I am committed to being healthy and balanced both physically and mentally; I try to make choices that represent my family and my community well.
