Sophia Martinez '26 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my whole soccer career, I have been passionate to both life on and off the field. I have been helpful and persistent in the classroom, as well as a leader on the pitch, taking the role of captain. I absolutely love the environment that I found at Sockers FC, and I can see how much I have improved with the help of my coaches and my teammates pushing me to work harder every day. 

I alternate positions depending on the game/event my team is playing at. I play mainly center forward, but also you can find me as an outside forward/mid or an attacking center mid. I would say one of my biggest strengths is reading the game and being able to find where I need to play the ball and when, but I also have the ability to take on a defender when needed, as well as bury the ball in the back of the net. 

I am very passionate about pursuing a career in medicine. Because of this, the academics of schools is what is driving my recruiting process the most. I am looking to major in biology, including subcategories of it, as well as possibly neuroscience.
