Ellieanna ( Ellie ) Arnold '28 Recruiting Profile

Preparation + Opportunity + Execution = Success.   I am highly motivated, extremely disciplined and understand that execution will be dependent upon my work ethic and determination. I have been blessed with amazing opportunities that have allowed me to grow as a player throughout my soccer career. I have been surrounded by impacting coaches, selfless parents and unforgettable teammates, the experiences I have had in various situations and with many different teammates have been a learning tool that I will embrace and use throughout my college experience on and off the field. 

I pride myself on placing my team first and leading by example with a respectful and positive attitude always willing to learn something new and grow. I hold myself and my teammates accountable to aspire to greatness, so that others will follow.   I keep my mental load in check often reflecting on the game and what I need to keep myself healthy as this is of utmost importance. Physically I am always working to prepare myself. Tactically and technically working to shape myself to give the best performance I can for my team.

Regarding my skills on the field...I like to play with a high level of energy and endurance with an attacking style. Although I have much too learn and grow, my strong suits are quickness, strength and aggression as I enjoy the challenge. I also have an appreciation for the assist vs the goal, as I love setting up my teammates for success and contributing in any way I can. 

My coaches and others have told me that I am a leader on and off the field and that I am hard to deal with when played against!
