Thalia Diaz '23 Recruiting Profile

My goals would be to go and play soccer for a college and get better at certain things I am needing work with. Also to figure out what I want to do other than soccer I am a sophomore at river valley high school.
I started playing soccer when I was 5 years old at my local ymca. I continued playing with our ymca soccer team until 5th grade. 5th grade I was able to join the middle school team at my school. For the middle school I played attacking midfielder, 5-6th grade and 8th grade.  I also played travel soccer through KASA eagles during my 7th grade year.  

During my time through the ymca i also participated in a British soccer camp that came to Marion. I played freshman year and this year on the high school soccer team and I played futsal last year and going to play this year. The positions i’ve played through the high  school are attacking midfielder, center back and right attacking forward. I also did corner kicks this year. 

While playing soccer I have realized that I am very passionate about this sport. I wouldn’t trade it or my team for anything. I have done other sports but they werent for me. I am very loyal to my team and I was even captin for some soccer games this year. 

I have gotten better at reading whats happening during the game on the field.
I also played half of last years season with a broken wrist. I did throw ins while it was broken. 

Areas I think I need to focus on is getting better with my left leg, getting faster and my corner kicks.
