Leylah Echeverria '23 Recruiting Profile

On the grass, it has always been a goal of mine to bring energy to the team by reading the field, anticipating the team's next move, and controlling the tempo of the game.  I take pride in having great vision while playing and by putting my teammates in a position to be successful.  To me, it's all about being in the right place at the right time.  But this isn't luck, it's from hard work, dedication, and the commitment to the game.  These habits have given me success both on and off the field.  For soccer, it has earned me a starting  position on my high school soccer team since I was a Freshman.  It has blessed me with the opportunity to play at the highest level of club soccer in my region and has also given me success when I play futsal in the summer.  Off the field, I am a 4.0 student, I participate in student government/outreach and engagement, and I was the first student to bring a non profit organization (Best Buddies) to my school.  My family motto is to live by the 3 H's.  I truly believe if your honest, humble, and hard working, the rest will take care of itself.  I look forward to going to college and expanding my knowledge and experience.
