Sophia Bertazon '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a 2025 graduate at St. Timothy's. I currently play for Pipeline S.C. 2006/07 ECNL-RL girls and I've been playing soccer for 7 years. I'm interested in playing soccer at the collegiate level and want to play for a college that'll fit my desired major of pre-pharmacy.

During the high school season as well as club season I make it my goal to participate in practice as much as possible and put forth my best effort. When on the field my best skills are passing and distributing balls, speed, physicality, communication, and defending. Coaches have regarded me as a hard worker who is constantly working to improve. I've also been called versatile, accepting and playing any position if a substitute is needed. I pride myself in learning to play smart on and off the ball as well as increasing game IQ to make quicker decisions. I play in a co-ed indoor league which allows me to adapt to playing a quicker pace of soccer but also learning from peers on ways to improve dribbling and physicality.

Outside of soccer I prioritize training speed by participating in track & field. In order to stay athletic I also do weightlifting on the side to keep being physical, to protect the ball, and keep myself from being injury prone. Film review is important for me in order to improve mentally for the game and I try to learn and critique about my play style as often as I can.

I make it my priority to show up to all my practices, games, and classes in order to push myself. I want to attend a school with competitive academics as well as athletics in order to be constantly pushing my limits.
