Natalie Hawkins '21 Recruiting Profile

My dream has always been to play professionally since I was a little girl, and that still is my highest set goal. My first goal is to commit and play collegiate soccer where I will be challenged to become not only a better player, but also achieve my academic goals which is to pursue a degree in biochemistry. I'm different from other recruits because of my overall versatility, work ethic, and unwavering passion for soccer. Over the last 3 years, I have played every position as a starter except for center back and of course keeper. My ability to adapt to any position and in some cases multiple positions in one game, has made me a highly diverse player. My work ethic is based off of  discipline and dedication to both my academic studies and to improving myself as a player. Finally my passion for the game, no matter how many times I've gotten knocked down by not making a team or from injury, I always get back up and push harder because of my love for this game.
