My name is Emma Swindle. I have been playing soccer for 12 years with 8 years as a center-back defender and the last 6 years at the competitive club level. My commitment is shown by my recent recruitment to a new club team this fall that helped me grow but required a 3-hour round-trip commute twice a week to practice. I was the youngest on the team and played on a U18 level as a 15-year-old. I am dedicated to continuing to grow as a soccer player and an athlete.
As a center back, I aim for tactical awareness, strong aerial presence, and precise tackling. I excel at reading the game, anticipating opponents' moves, and initiating attacks from the backline. My leadership skills and ability to communicate effectively on the field contribute to a cohesive defense.
On the field, my determination and work ethic have proven unwavering. I am known for speed, adaptability, and versatility, which has enabled me to have proven success as the backbone of the defensive line, providing stability, leadership, and organization to the team. Off the field, I am a dependable teammate, always ready to offer support and encouragement. I am known for my ability to uplift my teammates, to lead by example, and to remain level-headed under pressure. I believe that fostering a positive team culture is just as essential as individual skills.
Academically, I am driven and disciplined, maintaining a rigorous honors class load while consistently achieving high grades. Balancing the demands of athletics and academics my entire life has instilled in me a sense of excellent time management and prioritization skills. I am confident in my ability to excel both in the classroom and on the field, understanding the importance of maintaining a strong academic standing throughout my collegiate career.
