Annika Klauss '23 Recruiting Profile

My goal for college soccer is to compete at a highly competitive level and make an impact on the team. Soccer is my passion and finding a school where I can really connect with the coaches and teammates, and develop and grow as a person and an athlete is very important to me. My goals for the academic aspect is to absorb all that I can, continue to strive to be above average student, and major in something I love. What makes me a good candidate is my attitude and effort. I will always go into a training session or conditioning with a positive and open mindset looking to improve myself. I also will give my 110% no matter what. Another thing that would make me a good candidate is that I love to win and I love a competitive and hardworking environment so I will do my part in making sure I bring these things to the team. Something that makes me different from other recruits is my mental an physical toughness.  I believe that soccer is half mental and its very important that you are consistently engaged in what your doing and always focusing. I make sure I am always doing the little things such as proper nutrition, stretching, and even watching lots of professional soccer. Overall, I think that soccer teaches you a lot of life lessons on and off the field and I always strive to be the best I can be for myself and the team, and will always be determined in reaching any goal I set.
