Katherine Padgett '15 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coach,

My name is Kat Padgett and I am from the beautiful state of California.  I am a 5'11" and 160 pound center defender who loves the game of soccer.  I watch, eat, breathe, and sleep soccer.  I am hoping to find a soccer home at your school!  With being tall I pride myself with my ability to win balls in the air and be 100% dependable with every air ball that comes my way.  I love the game of soccer and I also love school.  A school with a kinesiology/exercise science program will provide me with the best opportunities to pursue a career in physical therapy.  My passion for sports and athletics pushes me to pursue this career because I want to help kids with injuries realize that this is not the end of the world.  Injuries are a small bump in the road of an athletes career and one can work to overcome those injuries.  

Soccer serves as a happy memory and stress reliever for me.  Playing with a ball everyday and running with it at my feet is the most liberating feeling.  When I am on the soccer field, the worries of next weeks math test go away and all I see are my teammates, who I play for every time I step on that field.  I play soccer for the other girls around me that love the game just as much as I do.  We share that bond that at the collegiate level pushed us to work harder for each other and for our program.  I hope to be a part of a program that is a family.  Together a family is unstoppable because they trust and believe in each other on and off the field.  I have attributes such as optimism, hard work, integrity, desire, passion, skill, and trust that I hope to bring to your school!
