Kira Stambaugh '23 Recruiting Profile

        collegiate soccer is an opportunity for me to  further my athletic career as well as getting a great education. I have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember and cannot imagine my life with out it. This sport has been my escape from reality and given me a place to just let go and stop worrying about everything else in the world, and just focus on soccer. My passion for the game is so strong and it would mean the world to me to be able to continue playing past high school.

        On every sports team I've  ever been apart of, I have always been a leader. I aim to set a good example for everyone around me and be a good role model. I have a very determined attitude and am willing to put in the work to help my team and I improve and succeed. I strive to get better every time I touch a ball. I would say on of my biggest strengths is talking a lot on the field and having good communication with my teammates. outside of soccer I am very academically driven. I achieve very good grades and ultimately school comes first.

        My goals for college are to get a great education that will set me on the right path for the future.  I would like to be able to play soccer along with school because it provides a place for me to get away and focus on something else besides what is currently going on in my life. I also would like to play so I can experience a new team culture and style of play. I want to reach my full potential and I believe playing collegiate soccer will only help me improve my game.
