Kathryn Rathke '18 Recruiting Profile

    I am currently a senior at Bluffton High School, in Bluffton SC. I have played soccer since I was five years old, and started playing travel soccer at the age of eight. I am both a competitive athlete and a competitive student. I pride myself on maintaining a balance between my schoolwork and soccer. Throughout my life so far, I have always seen school and soccer as going hand in hand, with one comes the other. Also, in all aspects of my life, I am willing to work hard to see the best results possible, whether it is on or off the field.

    So far, I have lived in six different places and have played soccer in three of them. For me, soccer has been one of the few consistent parts of my life and I have loved being able to connect with other players no matter the place or time. The main reason I am looking for the opportunity to play soccer at a collegiate level is because soccer has been such a huge part of my life so far, I don't think that I could see myself stopping altogether after my senior year of high school. I would love the chance to play soccer for as long as possible.
