2021 Highlights Personal Statement
Soccer has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I'm grateful for how soccer has helped me grow as a person. I have always been extremely competitive, something that comes naturally as the 3rd of 5 kids, including 2 older brothers who play college football. I strive to be better today than yesterday, and find that as a soccer player, there always are skills to sharpen, someone to chase, and more to prove.
Playing for the Illinois ODP team in 2019 and being selected for the regional ODP showcase camp and regional pool team that summer allowed me to compete at a high level against excellent players. Last spring, I was proud to join the U17 Sockers FC Chicago GA team and earn a starting spot on a team filled with future D1 players. This fall, I moved up to the U19 team, primarily playing outside back with an emphasis on both defending and attacking. Before joining Sockers, I was a varsity athlete as a high school freshman in cross country and gymnastics.
What will I bring to my college team? I will bring a team-first attitude, strong work ethic, high work rate, unbreakable will to win, and SPEED!

- Received a 4.5/5 stars on my evaluation from the camp. The evaluation is below. Leah had a great attitude at camp and was very coachable. She brought a lot of energy and creativity to the games and drills. Her ability to combine in the midfield was fantastic and she is confident going forward on her own as well. She still has time to continue her development before moving on the college game and i'm confident she will continue to grow and be an impact on the field. -Coach Paul of Concordia University Chicago.
