Owen Rodgers '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing soccer since I was three.  I have learned that if I work harder than everyone else, I can reach my goals in soccer and school.  I work 2 to 3 hours (juggling, DribbleUp, dribbling with cones, triangles against the wall, kicking against the wall, juggling sitting down) every day in soccer to get better and I play with my friends any chance I get.  My goals in college are to continue playing the sport I love, get a degree that will allow me to get to graduate school and become a pharmacist and continue playing soccer professionally.  I have worked from an early age to be able to use both feet at the same level.  As someone that plays anywhere along the back line and midfield, I have to know how to defend, attack, cross, and pass extremely well with both feet.  I make sure I hit every pass in practice because you play the way you practice.  I am a very physical player that is not afraid to go into a challenge.  One of my greatest qualities is effort.  I make sure that I give 110% no matter the conditions or score.  After practice each day, I sprint off the field to prove to myself that I always have more energy to give in the games.
