Sophie Burt '21 Recruiting Profile

As a student athlete, I have loved and respected the game of soccer since playing on my first team at age four (we dominated), to now, playing soccer in High School (5A champs) and Premier Club Soccer. I’ve been playing competitive soccer since I was eight on Utah’s Premier Club and ECNL teams, often being the top scorer and assister. I've had some amazing coaches that see my potential and push me to do my best, with great technical foot skills, speed, and power in my play. I’ve loved being a part of a team that is committed and build each other to be their best, being united, and doing what will help the team as a whole. I am a great, positive team player. I also have a strong work ethic in academics, taking competitive and challenging courses to excel, learn, and be my best. I like to give back and serve my community, helping children around the world. I hope to be a great athletic example of service with a winning attitude. Playing college soccer has been my biggest goal and aspiration. I am at home on the field and playing the game is what I love best.
