Ava Sylvester '24 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has always been a part of my life and has been something I strive to achieve in. I work as hard as I can during practice and even do extra training on my days off in order to continue getting as good as I can. I am able to balance practice, games, homework, and a job well. With the leftover time I have I go out with friends or go places with my parents.  I've been playing my entire life and I can't fathom not playing after high school. Soccer is a huge part of my life and it's what I live for, while still putting academics before it.  My parents and teachers have always told me I'm a natural-born leader and I absolutely agree. I love taking charge and leading groups and being at the forefront of them. While I don't always like being told what to do, I understand that coaches, teachers, and parents hold authority over me. My parents joke about how I was always the cheerleader up until I scored my first goal when my dad told me I would get an ice cream scoop for every goal I scored. All I needed was that extra push and something was put into motion that day. While going pro in some regard would be a dream come true, if it doesn't work out I want to be either a sports journalist, news anchor, or radio show host. These things may change in the future as I am constantly having new ideas surrounding my future, I for sure want to stick in the communications or business fields.
