Alaina O'Connell '21 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a significant part of my life since I can remember. I love soccer for the teamwork, friendships, commitment, and leadership.  I have worked hard through the years to develop my skills and become an important part of every team I have played on.  Soccer has taught me many values and lessons that I can apply both on and off of the field.  I’ve learned the importance of working together as a team to accomplish a goal.  I can adapt to the skills, abilities and personalities on any team environment. I have also developed leadership qualities that have helped me to serve as a leader on the teams I have been a part of.  Whether I am Captain or not, I like to talk on the field and take on a leadership role.  I make it my goal to always attack and dominate every play. While soccer is a large commitment, academics are another big part of my life.  I am an honors student with a 4.0 GPA. 

Playing competitively at a premier level has been an exciting journey and I look forward to the opportunity to play at the collegiate level. I know you will see the fire in me and agree I would be a perfect fit for your team.
