Shyla Kalpathy '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coaches,

My soccer journey started when I was 6 years old. I have played Club soccer for 7 years, and have represented multiple teams in the process. Soccer has always been my primary sport and will be. Over the last 10+ years, Soccer has taught me a lot of life lessons on and off the pitch. 

As an attacking midfielder, I focus on and excel at playmaking, creating goal scoring opportunities, controlling the ball under pressure and maintaining possession. 

I am proficient in dribbling, passing with power and precision and shooting even from outside the box. As a midfielder, I constantly work on improving number of looks pre and post pass, and movement off the ball. I watch a lot of professional soccer (club and national) to observe, and make notes of world class midfielders.

I help and lead my team both in communication and course of action on and off the pitch. I believe this is an important Soccer virtue to be a successful team player and contributor. I value constructive criticism. I am a very coachable player.

I'm constantly working hard on improving my Soccer IQ and skills so I can be more consistent and confident as I get ready for college level. I want to win a NCAA championship. I'm very driven and self motivated and I will do whatever it takes to attain my goals and ambitions. I look forward to being part of your team as I step into the next phase of my student career.
