My name is Taylor Zacharda and I am a 5’3 central midfielder from Pennsylvania. During my freshman year of high school, I was one of the two freshmen that varsity lettered. I was able to do this on a thirty-eight-member squad with four upperclassmen playing my position. Whether I am playing ninty or five minutes, I always give 110%. On the field, I produce constant positivity towards my teammates. No matter the score of the game, I uplift my team as much as possible. Both my club and high school coaches have said I have great positional awareness and creative ability on the field with and without the ball. I am often called “soccer smart” by my peers and coaches. I take all honors classes available at my school and maintained a 4.0 GPA my freshman and sophomore year while doing year-round soccer and playing several instruments. A goal of mine is to play for a competitive collegiate team that challenges me to develop as a player and aligns with my future long-term growth academically.
