Celia Metzger '20 Recruiting Profile

I have always been a competitive person, and enjoy pushing myself to achieve the very best that I can. Since a young age, in both soccer and in school, my commitment to excellence has been steady and growing. I truly believe if you want something bad enough, you can achieve it through hard work, dedication and resilience.

Soccer has always been a priority for me for both the competition and the team connection. Making the Varsity team as a Freshman was pivotal moment in my soccer career, as it boosted my confidence in my abilities as a Goal Keeper and afforded me to the opportunity to practice daily with a higher level of skill and ability. As a Keeper, I feel it is my job to keep my team motivated and on task both on and off the field. I have been able to discover my leadership abilities and flexibility to adapt to situations through my years on the soccer field. The friendships I have formed with my teammates also gives me the support and motivation I need to keep pushing myself to achieve more and more. I am grateful for the strong coaches and teachers I have had in my life who support both my academic and athletic abilities.

I am looking for a strong academic program where I can continue to grow intellectually, and also a strong women’s soccer program that will provide both the physical outlet and emotion support needed for me to be successful academically. Although not committed at this time, I have an interest in the Bio-Medical field and plan to explore classes in that area.
