Rachel Balboni '20 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer when I was 5 and have always desired excellence which made the sport very enjoyable for me to play.  I have a long living passion for soccer that continues to grow to this very day.  With the passion for the game and the friendships I've made,  soccer has opened up a whole new door in my life that I am very grateful to have. I currently play for the GPS MA South Coast 2001 Elite and Freetown/Lakeville United travel team.   I previously played for Nova Premier Soccer Club in division 1 Maple going up against some of the top teams in the state and country.  Besides soccer I run both winter and spring track and won rookie of the year in both.  Track has helped me become more agile and improved my running speed which I incorporate into soccer to create a better soccer player out of myself. I feel like I am a versatile player and can play almost any spot on the field. I am willing to take on constructive criticism and use this to better myself. I use leadership on the field when its needed but I'm a team player.  As a freshman, the majority of my classes were honor classes and I was in student council. I will continue the same path in both academics and athletics this year.  Thank You for your time and I hope you will consider me for your team!
