Mia Banchero '22 Recruiting Profile

My goal in college is to participate in soccer while pursuing my degree. I hope to bring what I've learned from my parents and coaches into full view and use their lessons to guide me in my next phase of athletics and adulthood.  I am a physical, competitive teammate that is passionate about soccer and learning as much as I can through coaching and camaraderie with my teammates. Off the pitch, I am a person of high moral character and introspection.

On the pitch my size and quickness makes me a formidable presence. I am a thoughtful (not soft) teammate and I am a skilled passer. Not fancy, but accurate and I am constantly thinking of how to distribute the ball to put my teammates in the best position to score. 

As for academics, I am still trying to figure out what the future holds as a working professional, and that makes me excited to explore the array of possibilities a university course offering can bring.

Both of my parents played sports at a high level in college and they look back on the experiences- positive and negative- with fond memories of triumph and lessons learned.

I would be a great asset and teammate on a college team. I want to work hard at practice, receive and work on coaching feedback and put that to use in games. I want to win. I would not mind being a part of a team rebuilding and trying to establish its identity, and/or coming in to continue the work to solidify a winning tradition.
