Emma Lin '20 Recruiting Profile

    Growing up I have tried many sports, but the only one I have stuck with is soccer. I've been playing soccer since I was four and have grown to love it more and more every second. I have put lots of effort into soccer and school and will continue to push myself to higher standards.

    I have won three state cup championships and have attended the midwest regionals three times. Playing against the best in the state and region, I know that I have the ability to play with anyone, but it also showed me that there is a lot of competition and even more room for improvement. I am known to be a positive player who works hard and isn't afraid to speak up on the field.  As a center midfielder, my goal is to distribute the ball to open players, disrupt lines of defense, and to connect the dots between both sides of the field. I have the ability to move quickly and efficiently on the field, helping me to accomplish my goal every game.

    As playing soccer at a collegiate level has been an aspiration of mine ever since I was a child, gaining a meaningful college degree is just as important so I may have a successful career after my soccer journey has ended. I am looking for a college that will both allow me to compete in soccer and reach my academic goals. As I enjoy competing against the best, it has pushed me to strive for perfection on the field and in school. Academically, I am very much above average and will continue to learn to a high standard. As a junior, I have taken many advanced classes and am taking three AP classes this year. Since I play soccer all year round, I am constantly working to become the best student-athlete I can. I have no doubt that my positivity and leadership would help to make your program even better.
