Chandra Philips '22 Recruiting Profile

Dear possible future coach, 

          The highlight of my soccer career so far was when my team traveled to Dallas, Texas to compete in a showcase tournament.  Even though we were not very successful as a team, playing against these very talented teams taught me that team connection and trust is very important. My collegiate goals are to play for a high level women's soccer team.  I would also like to continue to improve my soccer skills and hopefully be drafted into the NWSL where I can showcase my skills and leadership so I could have the chance to play on an international team.  I would like to take sciences in university, in hopes to become a surgeon in the future.  Another goal I have is to become inspirational to young girls who love this sport.  I am a good candidate for your team because I am very focused, passionate, and motivated about everything I do.  I also am a great leader who pushes everyone to do their very best.  I am currently one of my club team's captains, and served as a captain during my freshman year on a varsity team.  I always am pushing myself to do better in everything I do whether it is in school, soccer, or other sports.  As a freshman I made it onto the junior basketball team despite the fact, that the only basketball I had played was on my elementary school team.  I decided to try out because it was a challenge and I wanted to get better at something that I was not super confident in.  By listening to what my coaches told me I became a leader who knows what they are doing on the basketball court as well as being a leader on the soccer field.   I am also very kind, caring, and have great sportsmanship too.  I am a solid centre back who tries her very best each and every game.  When I play soccer I am also very vocal, I help direct the team as a unit by communicating things like, "shift", "drop", or "push up".  I also give direction to individual players during games.  I would be a good candidate because my academic abilities are very high and I always make sure that my school comes before everything else.  Finally, I feel I would be a good member of your women's soccer team because I am a well rounded person.

Thanks for your time, 

Chandra Philips
