Kennedy Holgate '21 Recruiting Profile

My personal experience with soccer has been exceptional. I started out as a small girl with the passion of playing and having fun. As I grew up, I worked my way to the top team in my hometown club.I played multiple seasons with a great coach, but not a huge range of competition. My family and I realized it was time to make a decision on whether to stay there, or move to a club where I could grow and become a great player. 

That next season, I joined a club about an hour and a half away from my hometown and was forced to do all schoolwork in the car. The second season at my new club, our coach had decided to move on and take a better coaching job. My team received a new coach and he was amazing. He personally worked with players and their needs to make them better. Soon though, he found a better job at another club only 20 minutes away from my current club. But my team did not want to leave our coach. My team and I decided to move with him to my current club of Carolina Football Club in Spartanburg, SC. Unfortunately, the new age change moved me down from my original team to a 03' team. I do still play and start with the 02' team, but am fully committed to the 03's. My goal is to keep growing and make myself and my teammates better. I am ready to be in a college with a great team and coach with a learning environment so I can keep improving. I want to have a soccer career that makes me happy and where I can learn more and more about this beautiful game.
