Courtney McDonald '15 Recruiting Profile

If I could say one thing about myself that will never change, it's my work ethic. "If you're gonna do something, do it right." I take direction easily and I follow it, I communicate, and I will work hard to fix mistakes and improve. I also take responsibility as a player: I'm not going to say sorry if I made a bad pass or missed a shot, but I understand what it takes to humble yourself and fix those hiccups in order to move on and exceed in your performance. I constantly set higher standards for myself to become the best I can be. I am a loyal teammate who respects players on and off the field. I have been the captain of my club teams for the past 4 years and am proud to call myself a leader. Achieving goals makes me aspire for new ones, including playing college soccer. I would love to play at the division 1, division 2, or division 3 level, just as long as I get to play the sport I love. I prefer a medium sized college in Colorado or California, but since my options are multifarious, I am open-minded. I want the school to be high in academics while providing me with a competitive and challenging soccer experience. I am optimistic but realistic and I strive to become a better athlete, student, and person more and more every day.
