Grace Spencer '27 Recruiting Profile

Soccer is an amazing sport.  The beauty of it often blows my mind; the way that any given moment can be won or lost with a light touch of finesse or an all-out attack of raw power, and how the decision to use one or the other needs to be made over and over again instantaneously throughout a match. With 22 players on the field and each competitor's every step having the potential to make or break a scoring opportunity or defensive stand; I am enthralled by all the moving parts. The combination of team chemistry and individual skill that come together to create an endless combination of great moments on the field for everyone to enjoy, keeps me wanting more.  The more I learn about the game and the more that the finer details are revealed, the more I love it. The more competitive the level of play, the more fun it is. Soccer truly is beautiful, and I want more.  I want to have it in my life for as long as I can, and I want to play at the highest possible level so that I can dive even deeper into it and become a true student of the game.  Then maybe I can be a part of something beautiful that helps others recognize the greatness of the sport as well.  I have been playing since I was 5 and I know that I am just scratching the surface of what soccer is, what I can do in it, and what it can do with me.  I am learning about life and academics at Veritas Classical Academy but will be learning soccer with the Marietta Highschool Lady Tigers, who made the State's Final Four last season.  Life is beautiful, soccer is beautiful and I want more.
