Emi Palma '24 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing soccer since I was three years old, and club soccer for the last eight years. I will be playing my final year of club soccer this upcoming season for PACNW B06 Maroon.

I have always been a competitive person on and off the field. Whether its playing board games or sports, it has driven me to improve and practice to play the best that I can.

My main experience is playing defensive midfield but for the last two years I’ve also been playing attacking mid, both on club and high school teams.

I believe my strengths are the ability to play under pressure, vision on and off the ball, and passing, dribbling and finishing with both feet. I’m also very coachable, team oriented, and work hard on and off the field which has led me to be a starter who rarely comes off the field.

My accomplishments have been playing varsity soccer since my freshman year and in the last season scored about 20 goals (club and varsity HS combined). Last HS season, I was also an honorable mention in 3A Washington State South Sound Conference.

My goal is to attend a university that will not only challenge me academically, but also offers a high level of competition on the field. Within this program, I will do my best to improve my own skills but also improve the team itself. I hope that whichever university I attend I can be a difference maker on and off the field. I hope to compete at a high level and be able to make my team but also myself proud of what we will achieve.
