Kelly Odabashian '20 Recruiting Profile

 My name is Kelly Odabashian, I come from an amazing family that invested a lot of time and love in me. In my immediate family is my mom, Joanna, my dad, Matt, and my sister, Lauren. My Mom is an owner of a real estate company here in Fresno, California and my dad is a chemistry and biology teacher and coaches soccer at a local high school. My sister and I are very close, I consider her one of my best friends, she's a sophomore at the same high school I go to. I am a strong believer that tough times don't last, but tough people do! I love playing soccer, I have been playing soccer since I was little. Through my soccer career I have learned many great life lessons, it’s taught me to be committed to, to have grit, to know your role in whatever you may do in life, it's taught me how to be a good friend, good teammate, and how to be a leader. The most important life lesson soccer has taught how to work hard and how to push yourself. I have never been the fastest, or most technical player, but I have always been one of the hardest working.
