Emma Kate Rosensteel '21 Recruiting Profile

    Although I started my athletic career as a soccer player, it only took a couple times with a field hockey stick in my hand for me to fall in love with the game.  A mom of a friend started a local team when I was in fourth grade and we played in tournaments around my town. This first team soon turned into the Central Penn FHC where I played for the next five years.  In December of 2018, I moved to X-Calibur FHC where I happily remain today.

    My very first position was at left forward where I learned the importance of positioning off the post and always being ready for a pass or a deflection opportunity.   I was moved to midfield as I grew into a more advanced player.  Upon joining X-Calibur for the 2019 indoor season,  I found myself playing defense for the first time.  I am thankful for these experiences because I now feel comfortable anywhere on the field.  Playing multiple positions has taught me how to see the field and to cover as players change positions due to game situations.  I play to my strengths, work on my weaknesses and can be versatile in order to help my team.  One of my biggest strengths is my coachability.  I love to hear about my play with what I did well, but also what I need to work on.  

    My dream is to play at the collegiate level while also earning a great education.  I am looking for a school that will challenge me academically as well as athletically.  My major at this point is undecided.  I have interests in both the business and the medical fields.
