Maddie Rhodes '18 Recruiting Profile

I've played soccer since I was 6 years old, and since then, I've played year round. I practice every day, rain or shine (or snow), and work on my foot skills constantly. I'm an extremely hard worker, and constantly evaluate my game. If I'm unhappy with the way I played, I'll go out to the field, and work on my weak points until I get them right. During the winter, I’ll practice in the garage and play wall ball. It's a daily struggle to convince my dad to play goalkeeper when it's 25 degrees outside.

I'd like to play in college because I always enjoy improvement as a player, and the ability to contribute to the team. I know everyone will be serious about their game, and will hopefully be as passionate about the game as I am.

My goal is to make it to the Women's National Team. I plan on achieving this with my hard work, persistence, and stubbornness to never give up.
