Samantha Robertson '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a strong student academically and I am passionate about soccer. I've played since I am 5 years-old and I have always wanted to play in college. One of the reasons I'd be a great addition to your team is that I always give 100% effort. No matter what, I don't give up or sit back with either training or games. As one of the youngest players on my high school team, I was voted 1st team All District and I'm a starting Defending Mid-Fielder. Even though I have personal goals to be the best I can be, I always put my team first. I support players and help to create a positive environment. What makes me different from other recruits is my dedication to soccer both on and off the field. Outside of soccer, I choose friends that have similar interests focusing on high academic achievement and sports. We spend our free time playing soccer, volleyball, swimming and studying. By focusing on these things, we are able to work toward reaching our goals without the pressures that many of my peers face. Also, I'm committed to making a difference in the lives of other people. I've volunteered for 3 years with a special education department at an elementary school. Giving back to the community, has helped to build my character and make me a better team member as well.
