Kaitlyn Soderstrom '21 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was young, I always enjoyed being outside. I would wake up every morning, ready for another adventure. I first discovered soccer at age five, and I've never stopped playing since. Soccer has always brought me joy, and it's not just a game. Soccer requires a unique way of thinking and a complex understanding of the game. It is a team sport, and every individual has their own place on a team. These lessons, along with many others, have guided me through my high school soccer career. I have learned to play with aggression and passion, but with humility and patience at the same time. I try my very best in everything I do, and never give up. Soccer has shown me just how strong I am, and how much I truly love to play. I have made so many friends and memories over the years, and my experiences have only prepared me for the future. I hope to play soccer in college, and maybe even run track. Competition has always been a part of my life, and I know it will continue on no matter what I do. In college, I hope to study English, and write screenplays or scripts. Stories have always been special to me, and I want to create new ones, whether it's playing out on the field, or inside starting a new draft.
