josie Rowley '22 Recruiting Profile

I have played multiple different sports as a kid. I figure skated and dance when I was young. Then I moved on and played basketball, which I am still playing to this day.  But growing up in the rural part of Minnesota, trap shooting was something my family has been big into. I have lettered in that since 8th grade and continue to do so. This was not enough for me, so my freshman year I joined are track team. I made the varsity team, and was 6th in the conference for shot put. But the one sport I have loved the most is soccer. I played rec since I was 3 and just loved the thrill of kicking a ball around with all my little buddies. When I was in 2nd grade I got pulled up to play travel ball. I had a whole brand new group of kids to play with. I made friends with everyone on this team. When are first game rolled around, we didn't have a keeper. So my coach handing me a pair of gloves, and since then have never stopped playing. My freshmen year I was on the varsity team at my school, and started half the time. This was exiting for me, cause the other goalie was a junior. I have always been trying to make me the best me, but also my team. By giving the extra 110% effort in the classroom, on field, and to my teammates. I do almost everything with enthusiasm, passion, and heart. My goals about wanting to be a collegiate soccer player is to meet and bond with a whole new group of people. People have the same drive as me, and want to accomplish goal together as a team. I want to be pushed even further to reach that next level. In school I try my hardest to get great scores on everything. I like be challenged so, I take every upper hand classes when I can. When I fail any task, in school, at home, on the field,or other sports, I think on how to prevent it, fix it, and solve it. I never give up because I made a mistake, because if you never made a mistake you are not pushing your self outside the comfort zone.
