Claire Saunders '24 Recruiting Profile

From the early age of five, I developed a passion for soccer.  My  deeply rooted competitive nature and outgoing personality was drawn to  the field.  Soccer truly has become my life and has shaped my character  in countless ways.

Through soccer, I have learned discipline,  accountability, and how to be a team player.  I've learned how to  overcome and deal with failure, frustrations, and both physical and  mental challenges.

Through adversity, soccer has given me a sense  of purpose and has driven me to persevere.  For a long time, I was the  smallest player on all of my teams.  To substitute for my lack of size, I  learned to utilize my strengths of speed and agility.  As I've grown,  these attributes have also developed and have made made me an overall  better athlete.  I look forward to continuing to grow and develop throughout my college career.
