Nathalia Castorena '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations include attending medical school to gain a career in medical research as well as uphold my future in soccer. I am a self motivated and persistent player who began and continued to play for the love of the beautiful game. For this reason, I play each match with passion and play as if it were my last. Although each club game is played at a competitive level, and has its share of rough pushing and kicking, I do not wish to evoke quarrels during the game. I end each match with a professional attitude and strong sportsmanship. Throughout my life in soccer, I have played just about every position there is and have committed to whichever placement the coach puts me in. Character wise, I am inclusive to everyone I meet and try to form close bonds with others, but I always establish the line between socializing and real game time. As for my academics, I have always strived to do the best at a young age despite other extracurricular activities. I have pushed myself to get straight A's on each and every one of my classes including AP and honors classes. My education is very valuable to me just as well as soccer has been for the biggest part of my life. Whichever future team I become involved in, I aim to give it my all and play with the upmost respect for my team, coaches, and my opponent.
