Amalia Sessoms '18 Recruiting Profile

Playing soccer has been a part of my life since the age of 5.  I have been exposed to and trained in all positions of competitive play.  One of my unique abilities is that I can play any position on the field.  I am skilled in defensive and offensive techniques.  I possess excellent timing, anticipation, positioning, and reading the game.  I am very knowledgeable in the rules of the game, team and individual strategy.

I always wanted to be a striker and was given the opportunity by my premier coach in 2014.  With hard work I became the lead scorer on my team.  I score in almost every game which makes me consistant and reliable.  I am also known to have tremendous speed when attacking the goal and out run most defenders. 

When I am not on the field, I am an assistant coach at my premier club for the 2004 girls team. I participate in practices as well as attend/coach games. I love working with kids and aspire to be a coach in the future.  Being a coach has given me an inside perspective of the game and helped me develop into the player I am today.

Lastly, I have a very strong work ethic on and off the field.  I am a high honors student and work hard to maintain good grades in all of my classes.  I placed 3rd in the state DECA competition and competed in nationals in Anaheim, California.  I am planning to compete again this year.
