My name is Kyra Veenema and I aspire to play on a high level college soccer team and take my athletic career to its maximum. To me, confidence, individuality and mental toughness are the three most important characteristics for any athlete. Being able to push through hardships and being motivated to become better everyday, is the mentality that will get me far both academically and in soccer. My motivation comes from my teammates and failure. I know you learn the most from failure and it is the key to success.
I set myself at a high standard academically as well. I strive to maintain my 4.25 GPA (Weighted) and excel in all my classes, as well as the AP classes I am in. I am in a four year Sports Medicine program and I plan to continue studying healthcare in college.
