Zoie Kempf '24 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my life goal setting has given me the right mentality and kept me driven to be successful. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old and it is a huge part of my life. I hold myself to very high standards. I am a straight A honors student and school is a big priority in my life. I take a lot of pride in my academics and make sure I am always on top of schoolwork because without it, soccer would not be a possibility. I am always working to be my best and I have a lot of experience playing at a high level of soccer. I am currently playing for CSA (Charlotte Soccer Academy) at the ECNL level, and was selected to play at the Gothia Cup in Sweden through NCE (National Center of Excellence). I am super competitive and love how soccer does not only take skill and athleticism but it takes extremely hard work and the right mentality. Soccer is just as much a physical game as it is a mental game and I am always working to improve in all aspects of the game. I am a very technically strong player. Speed and stamina are some of my strengths on the field. Off the field I am a great teammate and love to have fun. I have a strong passion for soccer and want to go to a college that will meet not only my athletic but my academic needs.  I am strong in the math/science field and being an athlete, I have grown an interest in exercise science and sports medicine. My goal is to go to a school that will set me up for a successful future and help me grow academically, athletically, and as a person overall.
