Renae Washburn '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello Prospective Coach! 

      Thank you so much for clicking on my profile I really appreciate it! I have been playing this awesome game for 14 years. My older brothers always pushed me to become better and started my love for the game ever since I could walk. In those 14 years, I have played every position (except goalie) and am always willing to play where the coach thinks I will help best. My soccer knowledge is very strong from the years of experience and trial and error. 

     My expectations for myself have always been very high from the family and school environment I have grown up in. You will never have to worry about me not getting the job done. Randolph is a excellent private college-prep school that has allowed me to push myself and grow as a student, as a person and an athlete. Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to play Varsity soccer since 7th grade. Winning State in 8th grade was the best feeling ever and showed me hard work pays off. 

     Unfortunately, at the beginning of my sophomore season, I tore my ACL. However, there is a happy ending. At only 4 months after surgery, I had only a 12% muscle deficiency (average is 30-40%). Meaning I was in the top 90th percentile of ACL recoveries. This just shows how I never give up and if I want something I'm going to go get it. This injury helped reassure me how important this game is in my life and I cannot imagine letting my soccer journey end now.
