Norma Arredondo '21 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to go to a division 1 level school and study something within the arts. One of my principles is my family and grades, so I want to join a school where my family can feel comfortable with. As well as see me excel and be part of an intelligent team, maybe get an academic-athletic recognition. 

The team always comes first and that is for any coach.  For all of my coaches throughout club or school have wanted me to play. It is implanted in me and very important that I play for a school that wants me, not a school I want to chase.  I am often categorized as a playmaker and someone who can move the ball from side to side, I would be a great addition to a team that likes to hold the ball and praises good defending. Because I have also played as a wingback as well, you will see me running back. I have always believed that defense is an art and is even more important in today's game. 

In the sense of character, I would say that I am very organized on and off the field. I try to keep my things organized, my homework and my schedule. This has carried on to the field since young. I love a good set-piece and making those plays we have worked on during practice. Athletically, I have played with boys, older boys, women but what has made me stand out is playing in a different country. When I visit my family's home I get a chance to play with people who play much different. You would be surprised by the change in stamina, speed and alertness you have after playing somewhere outside the U.S.  Academically, I have just challenged myself more than many of my classmates by signing up for an optional exam, the PSAT.
