Journey Root '13 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
I am a 'Triple Threat' athlete competing in three sports in each year of High School so far. My #1 sport is SOCCER! I love the game and have been playing since I was 4 years old. I train and compete year round which is hard to do in Michigan. I have great ball skills and excel as a Goal-Keeper; i am very good at defensive mid and defense; I have also had success at offense as well.
I was a starter on the varsity team at strong side defensive mid, and was also the reserve GK, my sophomore year. As a junior, I am currently the starting Varsity Goal Keeper. My goal for this season is to break the record for most shut-outs; which is currently at 8 for a single season.
My goal is to compete at the collegiate level where I hope to gain enough experience and skill to continue my soccer career. I am very driven and work very hard to obtain my goals; my ultimate dream would be to compete as a member of the US Women’s Soccer team.
