Anita Mendez '22 Recruiting Profile

I first stepped into the soccer field at the tender age of 5 and continued to play in intramurals, club travel, HS Jr. Varsity and Varsity. I tried field hockey for a season but quickly realized soccer is my sport and still enjoy playing it. Throughout my young life, I enjoyed my offseason traveling, photography, drawing and swimming. My ability to anticipate a play has allowed me to excel in all midfielder positions on the field. I have been most effective as an outside midfielder with my strong left footed service.

I was inducted in Jr. National Honor society in 2018-2019. Have continued to achieved honor roll each quarter of my high school career thus far with a current GPA of 3.80.

Community involvement has been an integral part of my life, whether it's making an impact locally or globally via non-profit organizations who's focus is to feed children in need all around the world.  This act of kindness makes my heart grow a little more! I take great pride in being true to my core values and standards. 

I want to strike a balance academically and athletically. I don't have the good fortune to have things come naturally. Therefore, I am constantly working on my academic, as well as my atletic development, every opportunity I have. I constantly work to achieve optimal results.

I look forward to be a part of a higher institution of learning that can balance my love of soccer and my drive for academic excellence. My pursuit of post secondary education will give me many years with my chosen institution to become an integral part of their program. I look forward to my adventurous future as a student athlete.
