Alyssa Kirk '22 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Alyssa Kirk, I attend Becton Regional High School. I am a large part of the athletic program at my school. I participate in three sports and have been on varsity since freshman year for all of them. My character and ability to put out the most passion and heart through every motion is what allows me to strive and succeed as an athlete. Growing up, my character defined how I played and I never left the field/court without giving one hundred and ten percent. This carried over to my high school career and allowed me to accomplish and prosper among my sports. 

I developed this passion and work ethic through my everyday life, work, and education. Education taught me from an extremely young age that it is okay to not understand, or excel at something right away. Perfection and success take time and sticking to the subject, topic or problem will push one to understand. This transferred onto my sport’s career and allowed me to truthfully fall in love with competition and athletics. My home and school life showed me that things are not handed to you and that working for one’s goal is the way to be rewarded. Working towards my goal to play in college developed much younger than in high school, it started with my first steal, my first goal, and my first assist, little things such as going to every practice, or staying a little later with friends to shoot around began my process of furthering my athletic career. 

At the college level, I’m incredibly interested in furthering my soccer career. With this I am open to all levels of division play, my interest is mostly in Division two. My preference for the location of my future college is the Mid-Atlantic, North-East region. Staying in New Jersey is also a strong possibility. The end goal through the experience of playing soccer passed high school for me is not only to be able to continue my athletic career, but to create bonds with teammates, and continue my love for competition.
