Vanessa Van Slyke '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Vanessa Van Slyke, and I am going into my Senior year at Canajoharie High School. I have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember. I am the most comfortable as an outside-mid , but I can play anywhere on the field that I’m needed. My goal is to be a better person, physically and mentally. I always strive to be the best version of myself. What makes me different from other recruits is that I can balance my academics and athletics while coming out strong in both. Also, I am very coachable, I take advice and criticism very well because I always want to better myself. I have great passing skills, and I have always been able to tell where to pass the ball at the right time, often without even looking. I am a leader on and off the field, and always try to bring out the positive in every situation.
