Emma Beidler '22 Recruiting Profile

Attending a four year university and playing college soccer has always been my passion!  As a student-athlete, I understand the challenges and responsibilities that will be required.  In the classroom, I am organized and always strive to maintain a solid GPA (3.9/4.0).  On the field, I am a "team-first", dedicated player.   Playing for a Premier Elite team and being voted captain by my teammates is a true honor, and a duty that I take very seriously.  I am a leader, communicator, fierce competitor, and loyal teammate.  Knowing my role, giving 100%, and leading by example whether at practice or on game-day is one of my greatest qualities.  My primary position is attack-mid due to my vision, ball distribution, and ability to read and react when making runs.  Being a very versatile player, my coach will also use me as a left-mid for my stamina and ability to make long runs, and cross the ball with my left foot.  Coach will also use me at holding-mid for my ability to shut down the middle, transition the ball, and disrupt passing lanes.  With my work ethic, soccer IQ, and most importantly love of the game, I know that I will be a valued teammate and collegiate soccer player to a university.

Off the soccer field, I also play two additional sports which are lacrosse and basketball.  I feel that being a multiple sport athlete in school helps me not only physically, staying in great year-round shape, but also helps me stay mentally focused.  Active in my community, I do volunteer work at Cradles to Crayons in Philadelphia, participate in road-side clean-ups with my father, and also serve food at soup kitchens.  Giving back and helping others is very important to our family.  Throughout my hectic sports schedules, I am very blessed to have the love and support of my parents, and two sisters who are always cheering me on!

Collegiality, I will be looking for a university that is the right fit for my career path, soccer, and also one that has a vibrant student life.  As I continue to learn and gain new life experiences over the course of the next four years, I'm extremely excited at the road which lays a head of me as I dial in on a major and field of study for my future! 

Thank you very much for your interest,

Emma Sage Beidler, Attack-Mid, Class of 2022
