Ella Dichoco '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated and passionate student-athlete driven to compete at the highest level.  As I come to realize the mental and physical toughness that is needed to become a college player, the understanding inspires me to try to become an epic player. With the encouragement of my parents, I started playing soccer when I was five years old and I was not very good at it compared to some of my friends who were naturally athletic.  But, growing up with two brothers, who are also athletes, I had to learn to compete and hold my own. While school allowed me to push myself academically, soccer was my outlet to challenge my physicality and eventually challenged myself mentally as I’ve matured. More importantly, the sport has guided me to become a confident leader on and off the field and provide value to not only push myself but my teammates as well.
