Karina Richards '25 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athlete, my collegiate goals revolve around excelling both on and off the field. I aim to contribute to a team culture that values hard work, resilience, and collaboration. my goal isn't to make it onto the highest-level team but to be placed on a team where I know I will fit and get good minutes. I aspire to push my limits in my sport while pursuing a degree in psychology. What sets me apart as a candidate is my unwavering commitment to personal growth and teamwork. I thrive in challenging environments, always seeking to improve my skills you can not grow as a player if you don't put in the work and sometimes playing with players is better than causing you to rise to the occasion. Academically, I maintain a strong GPA while balancing sports commitments, and I work a part-time job to help pay for my club soccer. In terms of character, I prioritize integrity and sportsmanship. I believe how you conduct yourself in competition reflects your true self, and I strive to be a positive role model for my peers. soccer is more than a game and can teach you so many life lessons.
