Isabella Daley '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi coaches! I have been playing soccer since I was four years old, and my love for the sport has only grown. I aspire to play at the collegiate level, so I can continue to participate in the sport that brings me so much joy, while also receiving a high-level education.

On the field, I possess a high soccer IQ, speed, agility, strength, and a winning mindset. When I step into any game, I go in knowing I will do whatever it takes to help my team get a result. My dedication to this sport has helped me become an extremely hard-working player. As a defender, I know how important communication on the field is, and I am never afraid to talk and lead my team. One of my greatest attributes is my leadership personality, on and off the field. I strive to create a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere on any team I play for. I strongly believe that a team is a family.

I play soccer year-round and run for my high school's Varsity Winter Track team. On top of being a busy athlete, I am also a busy student! My education is the most important aspect of my college experience. I am looking forward to playing at a school where I am being academically challenged. I currently have a 4.0 GPA while being enrolled in all honors courses. I am a member of  the National Junior Honors Society and the Italian Honors Society. I will be pushing myself even more in the classroom by taking three AP courses, starting my junior year. Through Notre Dame, I am involved with multiple service and leadership-based clubs, including Joey's Little Angles and Peer Leadership.

My ultimate goal is to attend a college where I can play soccer at a competitive level and prepare myself for the future through academics.
