Elyssa Thompson '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old.  Since I first stepped foot on the pitch, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing college soccer is a once in a lifetime opportunity and could change the course of my life.

I have strong defensive skills and mental toughness. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encourage my teammates.  I am very coachable and assist my coach by leading practices and coaching other teammates to success.  I strive to be one of the hardest working players and recruits on the team.

I work hard year-round on my soccer skills, participating in Select Soccer, while also playing on my high school varsity soccer team, lifting weights, and running which all contribute to my athleticism.

In the classroom, I study hard to maintain a 5.01 GPA and inducted into the National Honor Society. I also volunteer at local youth soccer camps, lifeguard at church camp as well as for the community and volunteer with work at my church, Watters Rd Church of Christ.

I want to attend a university where I can push myself in my studies and on the field.  I want to find the right college match at the highest level of competition.  I hope to be a great example and role models for young girls in my community, my peers and make my family proud of what I can accomplish.
