Gabriela Del Castillo '21 Recruiting Profile

I have always had a soccer ball at my feet from the time I could walk. Whether it was kicking the ball in my yard with my sister or playing an actual game, soccer has always been a huge part of my life. Through wins and losses, soccer has helped me learn and grow as a person and student-athlete. Going from winning the league two years in a row to not making the sectional tournament taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and commitment. I want to play because I HAVE to play. Being forced to take time away from playing due to the COVID 19 pandemic made me realize more than ever how much playing soccer is a necessity for me. 

I'm looking for a school that is a good fit for me and where I can make an impact, both academically and athletically. In High School, I have successfully managed a rigorous honors academic schedule while being a three-sport varsity athlete. As captain of my soccer team and Vice President of my class, I have developed strong leadership skills. I want to be able to apply these skills, combined with my drive and character, to make a difference in your program.  

My goal is to play the sport I love and get a strong education at the college level. I believe I have what it takes to make a great addition to your team!
