Theresa Chambers '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5’4’’ center back, from Swansea, South Carolina and I will be graduating with the class of 2019.  When I was 4 years old, I fell in love with this game.  Every time I step out on the field to start playing I would get very nervous, but along with the nerves, I felt so honored to be able to play.  Playing soccer has taught me how to be a better person, how to have respect for the other girls playing for the same reason I am. Also the game has taught me confidence, how to stand up, and to be brave. I have faced many obstacles just like any other athlete, one in particular kept me from playing the game I love for 3 months. After battling ankle injuries for 3 years, I had to have surgery  because we discovered I was born with an extra bone that came loose after suffering an ankle sprain. It was a long recovery, but I was determined to get back in the game as soon as possible.
