Mya Schmidt '27 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Mya, and I started playing soccer at the age of 5.   

I have always been a driven soccer player. I know players often struggle with mental blocks, and although I sometimes do as well, I use it as motivation to push me to become an even better player. When I see other people working, it makes me want to work 100x harder. Working even when I don’t want to is what sets me apart from other players. Most importantly, communication, dedication and respect are key attributes that I bring to my team. 

Academically I do very well in school.  Even though playing collegiate soccer is a huge goal for me, I am excited to study a science major.  I will strive to balance soccer and academics at the university I attend.
