Sofia Rivera '21 Recruiting Profile

I am 17 years old and would describe myself as a hardworking, driven, and passionate soccer player. My goals are to play college soccer in Divisions I or II where I would study health and medicine while reaching and extending my potential academically and athletically. I aspire to study something related to health and medicine in order to help others improve their lifestyle, because as an athlete I have witnessed the benefits a healthy lifestyle can have in different aspects of your life. I am truly motivated by self improvement, challenges and my goals in life but most importantly I am deeply motivated by my family and the sacrifices they have made to help get where I am today. As a captain, I consider myself a team player and value the team over my personal gain. In addition, I pour my heart and soul into the game and give over 100% on the field. I promote union, fellowship and hard work in my team. Lastly, I do not give up easily and I do not get discouraged instead I use my failures as motivation to work harder.
