Caila Batchelor '22 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has taught me many things in life above them all I've learned to evaluate what environments I work best in. I've learned that I am not a perfect fit for all systems, but I am willing to work hard and to learn. I've learned to adapt. I've played soccer my entire life, I wasn't the best and early on was often bypassed for team selections. Rather than accepting this I found it to be motivating to prove any doubters wrong. I went from being on the 3rd choice ODP team to a multi-year region camp invitee and from the second-choice club teams to the player first selected. I have drive and I have motivation. I play physical and work to have a strong balance between game intelligence and technical capability. I can confidently describe myself as a hardworking dedicated competitor that is looking for a college program that will support my career aspirations while providing a competitive environment. I am a continual student of the game itself and thrive in environments where the players are driven and competitive. I am not perfect, and I will not always have the best game but I will always give 100% on the field and off.
