Kylie Kress '27 Recruiting Profile

As a dedicated and passionate soccer player competing at the ECNL level for the last 3 years, I strive to push my limits both on and off the field. Soccer has been more than just a sport for me; it’s a platform where I’ve developed discipline, resilience, and leadership. Playing as a forward, wing, and sometimes a midfielder between Club and Varsity teams has strengthened my versatility and vision in the game, while earning First Team All-Star and other recognitions as a Freshman in my area has driven me to constantly improve and seek new challenges.

Balancing my commitment to soccer with being an honors student and National Honor Society member requires hard work and time management, but it’s taught me to prioritize and stay focused on my goals. I believe success in academics and athletics go hand-in-hand, and I bring the same tenacity and work ethic to the classroom that I do to the field.  Staying after to help tutor others and get my homework done, as well as staying for a double practice session with my ECNL team, a 3 hour round trip away from home 2-3 days a week, is not out of the ordinary for me.

As a supportive and uplifting teammate, I am dedicated to fostering a positive environment and building strong relationships with my peers and coaches. I am equally passionate about giving back to the sport I love by volunteering and coaching younger players. Inspiring the next generation of athletes fuels my drive, and I hope to continue sharing my love for soccer wherever my path takes me.

My dream is to play soccer at the collegiate level, where I can further refine my skills and contribute to a competitive program while pursuing my academic goals. Ultimately, I aspire to take my game to the professional level, competing at the highest standards and becoming a role model for others. I am committed to working hard, staying focused, and always giving my best to reach my full potential as a student-athlete.
