Sophia Oommen '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been involved in competitive sports since childhood and now well into my high school. Apart from my passion in the sport of soccer, I am competing in a highly competitive high school and performing exceptionally in several different sports like cross-country, track, cross-country skiing and basketball. 

What distinguishes me as an athlete is I am fiercely competitive and have gravitated toward the position of a midfielder in soccer because it takes advantage of my speed and endurance. In that role, I've been a very effective part of the teams I've played for. That said, I have some versatility and have played both defence and forward. This discipline has also been applied to my studies and I am thankful to have balanced that with success academically as an honours student  through out middle school and now in high school studying at the IB level. 

Two years ago, I was invited to an all Ontario tryout (OPDL) as a young 13 year old, and that ignited the idea in my own thinking of playing soccer at an elite level. With the end of grade 11 in view and looking forward to beyond high school, I want to position myself to accomplish this goal and I truly do believe that I would be an excellent contribution to your Team and University!
