Brianna O'Brien '17 Recruiting Profile

   I aspire to be a college division one soccer player. I am a hard worker on and off the field like most serious players, but what makes me different from most is that I started from the bottom and I'm working my way up. Most players are put right on division one and premiere soccer club teams as soon as possible. For me I started out playing intramurals with Mineola until third grade. I then tried out for the Mineola travel team. We the highest division we have played in our current division, division four. I am working with a personal soccer trainer, trying out for a PDP team and rough riders team. I go to the gym and try to fit in as much soccer as possible. It's especially difficult to start this late in the game when you know you have so much catching up to do, but I think my setbacks make me stronger, and it motivates me to work hard and with passion for the game.
