Clara Nelson '24 Recruiting Profile

I am so excited to announce that I have  committed to play soccer at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD.

When I was younger I fell in love with the sport of soccer. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to take my soccer career farther in life. In soccer I mainly play in the forward position, however I have also proved my abilities in the defensive midfield position. I believe that some of my best qualities include being extremely hard working and a coachable player. I have always wanted the best for myself and my team. I believe that no matter what there is always room for improvement, so therefore I always take my mistakes and learn from them. This makes me a valuable player because I will constantly be improving. Even though soccer is such a huge priority in my life, that is not my only priority. The other huge priority in my life would be my education and grades. As I continue in my education I strive to push myself to get the best possible education I can get, and I push myself to get the 4.0 gpa that will help prepare me for the best future. I have goals for the future that include both my soccer and academic career. I want to play soccer in college as well as continue my 4.0 gpa. Being the best I can be on and off the field and knowing that I can always improve myself are two characteristics that help me stand out from the rest.
