Kaylee Smith '24 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a part of my life since I was about five-years-old, and ever since my first game I have been in love with the sport. At age seven, I started playing competitively as a wing. I then moved on from Murray SC to Forza when I was about a 11 and I have stuck with the same coach and players since then. As I got older my speed wasn't as special because girls started to be just as fast as me. For awhile I struggled with my technical work until I started playing with Shaylee. This is were I feel I improved the most in my soccer career. Especially last year, My Main team was 7 Elite Academy 05 SW, This team wasn't pushing me to be the best player I could be so my coach offered me a spot on the 04 team. This is when I really got to show coaches what I could do while I was playing with older girls. Last year showed me a lot, knowing know that I had that in me to push myself to be a better player to be able to play up a year was amazing for myself mentally and physically. If I took anything away from those experiences, it would be to push myself to play at the highest level I can no matter the circumstance.  Soccer has helped me grow as a person, giving me a second family and teaching me hard work and dedication. Skills I use in day to day life from schoolwork to achieving my personal goals. Playing at a collegiate level would be an amazing experience, one where I hope I can bring positivity and good worth ethic to the environment.
