“Participating in collegiate soccer has been one of the most rewarding experiences in both my academic and athletic career, and it is responsible for a lot of my personal growth over the past few years. I’ve met so many like-minded individuals in my years here and made connections with people that will last a lifetime. I will remember my time in school forever and wouldn’t trade this experience for anything else in the world.”

“Moving away from home (UK) for 4 years was was a huge step for me because I had no family.. it made me grow up real fast and shaped me into the independent women/professional athlete I am today. Football is my life and I would make many more sacrifices to get to where I want to be. I initially went to America to play soccer, I didn’t really like school but 4 years later I walked away with a bachelor’s degree in human resource management and now I am a professional football player, playing in Italy. Being a student-athlete is the best decision you can ever make in life and will hands down be the best years of your life. Don’t be afraid because you will have tremendous support from the school, teammates and their families and just everyone around you. If you want it, don’t hold back, GO GET IT.”

“Now that I look back on my days in college as a student-athlete, I realize how lucky I was. I played for a division 1 university with some of my best friends while simultaneously getting my education. The people I met at school molded me into the person I am today and I can honestly say that everyone should strive to play sports in college. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and for me it transformed the way I live and lead in my life.”

“My experience as a student-athlete in college is one that I encourage any young soccer player to strive towards. It offered me once in a lifetime experiences and the most amazing opportunities to travel and experience some of the coolest places that normal student might not get to experience. If you are willing to give 100% of yourself and work hard every day then I believe you can be in my shoes one day.”
