Sadie Levinson '26 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations-

My immediate goal is to play soccer at the collegiate level, contributing to a team that values excellence both on and off the field. Long term, I aspire to build a career in sports marketing or sports broadcasting, where I can channel my passion for sports into a profession that excites me every day. I fully understand the challenges of balancing a rigorous academic major alongside the demands of collegiate athletics. Still, my experience and determination have equipped me to excel in this environment.

My journey at Saint Andrew's High School has been defined by our shared commitment to "Mind, Body, and Spirit." I've consistently maintained strong academic performance, with a record of all A's and B's, while playing pivotal roles on our Varsity soccer team. As a center and right back, I've contributed to our team's success, helping us secure District Championships and earning Honorable Mention from the Palm Beach Post and Sun Sentinel. My dedication to the sport extends to my participation with Team Boca, where I have been part of teams that achieved 2x State Championships and 1x Regional Championship and qualified for National Championships of which we won in 2024. These experiences have shaped my abilities on the field and fueled my desire to continue growing in all aspects of my life. In college, I seek a program to support my holistic development, pushing me to academically, athletically, and personally reach my fullest potential.

What makes you a good candidate for their team?

Since I began playing competitive soccer at the age of 6, I've been fortunate to experience a variety of team dynamics, which has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to be a valuable teammate. My experience taught me the importance of communication, respect, and teamwork. I pride myself on being a leader who bridges gaps between players, coaches, and staff, ensuring everyone feels included and valued. Whether guiding my team on the field or contributing to our success off the field, I strive to create an environment of trust and mutual respect.

One of the ways I have demonstrated my leadership is through my role as a Top Soccer Volunteer Buddy. Over the past several years, I've dedicated 25 weeks each year to supporting children with disabilities during games and events, helping to organize and run clinics. This experience has been enriching, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others while developing my own leadership and communication skills. Additionally, I have taken on leadership roles, such as participating in the Pediatric Cancer Junior Committee and organizing successful fundraisers like the Popcorn/Super Bowl events, raising significant funds for pediatric cancer research. My efforts were recognized by the Pediatric Cancer Foundation for outstanding fundraising achievement in 2024, highlighting my commitment to making a difference in my community and in my school.

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletics and academics- 

My relentless drive to learn and grow sets me apart from other recruits. I am highly coachable, always seeking new ways to push my boundaries and improve my skills, both on and off the field. My versatility as a player allows me to confidently take on multiple positions, with a preference for center and right back, adapting to the needs of my team and delivering consistent performances. My passion for soccer matches my dedication to my community, as evidenced by my role as my school's founder and creator of a club that mirrors the Top Soccer Program. In this role, I will organize three main events and various clinics, act as a buddy for games, and manage the club's Instagram account to enhance our outreach and impact.

Beyond soccer, I'm deeply involved in extracurricular activities that align with my commitment to service and leadership. As an SA 4 USA Club member, I've had the opportunity to interview veterans, document their stories, and share these interviews with the broader community. This project allowed me to honor our veterans and develop my journalism and storytelling skills, contributing to our school magazine, "The Bag Piper."

My holistic approach to personal development—combining academic achievement, athletic excellence, community service, and leadership—ensures that I am prepared for the demands of collegiate soccer and ready to contribute meaningfully to the college community. I am committed to inspiring those around me with my positive attitude, strong work ethic, and unwavering desire to succeed through continuous learning and service to others.
