Kara Bissell '16 Recruiting Profile

The game of soccer has always been apart of my life. I have been playing since I was 4 years old, and my goal has been to play college soccer since I was 10. In college, I want to be apart of a program that becomes one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I am looking for a soccer program that truly believes in team effort, and a coach with a positive attitude, that has passion for the game. I am a left footed left back, and love to get involved in the offense, when possible. I am not afraid to get physical and use my body to win 50-50 balls and headers. My main focus is to stay positive during the game and not to dwell on the negative. I am a driven person and when I want something, I will not stop until I get it.  I get this trait from my family, as they have taught me that hard work gets results. I am also a loyal teammate, who plays for my team and not myself. I am all for the team and want whatever is going to make the team better. On the academic side, I put school before anything else. Getting good grades is important to me and I make sure that my best work is done. I am constantly pushing myself to get better grades, and being the best I can be.
