Rachael Holm '17 Recruiting Profile

I've played hockey since I was 7 years old and have loved every minute of it. The first time my dad took me skating when I was 5, I knew I had fell in love with the game. From then on I have been putting forth effort on and off the ice, playing summer hockey with AAA teams, stick handling and shooting with my own high school team, and lifting. I have been on the Bemidji Girls Varsity Hockey Team since 8th grade (4 years) I also play soccer in the summer and school year which helps me stay in shape. I have played on the Girls Varsity Soccer team since 8th grade also (4 years) Every time I get on the ice I work my hardest and play both ends of the ice, back checking and fore checking. I have also played a year of boys hockey on the peewee A team which has helped my skills grow tremendously. I know that I have came far from the first time I got on the ice and I know I still have a long way to go, but I know I will put all my energy and effort into being the best player and leader I can be. I have 2 years left of high school hockey and I plan to make the most of them. I would like to continue my hockey career through college. I believe I have the commitment, attitude and work ethic to play college hockey. My grades are well, and I'm one of the higher ranked kids in my class. I would like to major in Psychology or English and Literature. My academics overall come first before my sports. I know that if I put my all into what I'm doing I can achieve whatever I would like to, and the last thing I would ever want to do is give up. I want to become an inspiration and I know I can achieve my goals with dedication. I'm just a small town kid trying to live my dream. And I intend to make my dream become a reality.
