Mikayla Henderson '22 Recruiting Profile

Soccer has been a part of the fiber of my family since I was very little, and has become apart of me as well. As I embark on the next stage of my life entering college, I can't imagine doing so without having soccer continue to be a part of that as well. I strive to continue playing during my college years, and I plan to do so even beyond them.

I have set many goals for myself as I begin to approach my collegiate experience, both on and off the field. The aspects about my athletic character that set me apart from others are my work ethic (in practice and games) as well as my encouragement and support for my teammates and my ability to work together with them .  I have the strong will to continually push myself to new limits on the field and never back down from challenges. Academically, I am very hard on myself and take pride in striving to maintain good grades. This drive is going to help me gain my nursing degree, a lifelong goal of mine. Finally, my personality is a big part of who I am. I care a lot about the people I surround myself with, ie. my family, friends, and teammates. 

Combining my personal, athletic, and academic characteristics is the exact reason as to why I am such a good addition to any school & team, as they will always receive 110% effort from me on the field, in the classroom and socially.
