Ayla Shaw '22 Recruiting Profile

My goals for playing college soccer are to improve my skills, while also becoming a soccer player that others aspire to be. I believe that I am a great candidate for a college team because I am a  dedicated soccer player that will give 110%  at all practices and games.  I want to be on a team that  loves the game as much as I do.  I want to be part of a soccer family (team) that supports one another on and off the field. I was moved to the Varsity  high school team when I was in ninth grade. I play on the traveling soccer team each spring season.  When  I can , I double roster, so I can play on 2 teams for the spring season. I also attend skills training at the Odyssey soccer camp in Utica through the winter. I would consider myself different then some other recruits in the ways that I come from a farming family and I know what hard work  entails. I got a part time job at the age of 15, because I feel it is important to work/pay  for the things that I want.   I truly love soccer and I play every chance I get.  Also, I strive to be an active member in my school.  I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society, Spanish Club, Youth Philanthropy Club, and Varsity Club.  Finally, with my job, soccer practice, life on the farm and my extra curricular activities I still maintain an overall Average of 3.4 and I plan to graduate with an advanced regents diploma in 2022.
