Grace D'Amato '19 Recruiting Profile

I have always put my all into both academics and soccer. I continually strive to improve myself. Soccer is a big part of my life and helped fuel my desire for success for 14 years. I began playing with the local rec leagues when I was 4 years old, and continued on to travel clubs and then to premier clubs. I would like to continue to play soccer in college because its a part of who I am, and the game has helped shape who I am. The structure and discipline of the game has given me the drive to succeed in whatever I do. I am proud of what I have accomplished and how I have grown through academics, and through soccer. Playing in tournaments throughout the east coast has exposed me to better players..talented players...who demonstrated the skills and abilities that I needed to be successful (I couldn't get better unless I played against better). My goal for college is to be able to gain knowledge and earn a degree; but also to keep my love of the game and the excitement of putting on my cleats and stepping on the pitch -- ready to play and WIN!
