Ellie Warden '24 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my fondest memories have been with a ball at my feet, or at the field with my teammates. I think that one of the best things about me as an athlete are my motivation, determination, and drive to become a better player every chance I can get. Also, I am always trying to push myself to become better and expand my knowledge about the game. However, this is not restricted to the soccer field, as I also challenge myself in my schooling.  Throughout my high school career, I have been in over 8 total honors and AP classes, which keep me alert in a school environment as well. I love being challenged by things, working to overcome the challenge, and gaining more knowledge from the experience - on and off the field.

 In college, my goals as a student are to be in an environment that challenges me, and an environment where I am learning and experiencing new things as often as possible. My goals as a player are to go to a D1, D2, or D3 school where I would be challenged to grow my skills even more, and I want to grow good relationships with my teammates and coaches. I want to be pushed to be the best player that I can be. I have been a very coachable and adaptive player growing up, so I feel that as long as I am in a good environment that challenges and teaches me new things, I will be able to excel and grow in all aspects of life. Another one of my strengths is that I can take criticism and feedback, and apply it to my game. I feel that it is a major way to grow and adapt your game to become better, so any time I get advice and/or criticism, I take it and use it to improve my skills to grow and become better. I love to increase my knowledge of the game, so I use every chance I get, and every touch I take to do so!
