Olivia Carter '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to continue my education and play soccer at the collegiate level. To start off, education is very important to me; it comes in as my top priority. I always strive for the best and I'm never satisfied with anything less. Being a student with all honors classes and high-expectations can be very difficult at times, but I understand it's important for my future, and that the hard work now will accompany me with many benefits down the road.

As a student athlete, one of my tactics is to tie in my way of thinking in the classroom, with how I operate on the soccer field. Both the classroom and soccer field require focus and determination, especially when when faced with challenges. For example, in my mental game, one of my strengths are my decision making on the field. I always choose the best options and play smart and quick in order to create and execute opportunities. In my physical game, my Strengths are my speed and physicality. My speed is a very important part of my game, considering I'm mainly a midfielder. It helps me in both the defensive and offensive aspect of the game. It is also a part of the reason why I am such a diverse player. I have the ability to play any position on the field from defense; all the way up to striker. Being the type of player I am, I tend to be targeted in most games. With other players trying to shut me down from all angles, my physicality is extremely important and it helps me to stay in my game. With all being said, these different aspects of my game and playing style tied together is what makes me the player I am. There's always room for improvement, but with my ability, I believe that I can be very successful in the collegiate level of soccer.
