Sara Diehm '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer from a young age, I have always been interested from watching a game on the T.V. to playing with a real team. When I first started, I was put in different positions to see where I would fit, it wasn't until I was trying out for a club team to trying goalie to realizing that it was my spot to play. I played as the starting goalkeeper for two years with my club team until a taller goalie came into the picture, after that I was put around into either left or right defender and mid. When I entered my freshman year of high school, I continued playing as a left mid only since my team lacked the use of using the left foot. I helped my team score about 35-40% of our goals ever made through the season of 2018. In the beginning of 2019, I moved from Temecula, CA to Yakima, WA. There then I was put back into the goalkeeper position and became the starting varsity goalie as a sophomore. I was awarded top newcomer by my team, and was 1/3 players to earn MVP. I haven't really figured out what my academic goals could be except to maintain a 3.0 or higher gpa and to score high within the SAT or ACT tests. I am dominant right foot player, I perform my punts and goal kicks with my right, but when it's trapping, passing, or anything else, I can use my left foot. In the terms of penalty kicks, 90-95% of every kick, I have guessed correctly but was a second too late to push off. In my life, my dad and my older brother have been my biggest supporters and influences, from being to almost every game, to currently helping me out with this profile. As a possible candidate, along side everyone, once I make a commitment, I own up to that until the end, through loyalty and dedication to play.
