Ava Mathys '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a very coach able player, that takes criticism well. I learn a lot from the players around me and from the coaches that I have played under. I have been a captain since my junior year, and I take that role very seriously; I make sure that the health and spirit of the team stays in good condition and that we all are focused and playing as a unit. I take pride in knowing that my team is performing at top quality, and that we are playing at a level that we strive to be at. I am also a player that has heart, and by this I am saying that my love for the game and the way that I fight for my team in the games is very strong. I want my team to win games, and I will do everything in my power to make that a reality. I have a strong knowledge of how the game works, and I would also say that my tactical skills are above average. My strong suits are keeping the shape and delivering balls to players all throughout the field as a sort of target player where they can find me and I will make the best decision for the team at the time with my pass. I also am very calm under pressure and that allows me to do the holding/defensive mid to the best of my ability. I would say that I am a player who can be a light at negative times. I always try to brighten up the mood and lighten a practice environment to where we are trying hard and being extremely focused, yet we are still having fun doing it. I am a good student who focuses on my classes and makes sure my education is being taken seriously. When I make commitments in school and athletics, I put those first and stay on top of my commitments.
