Carissa Beckham '18 Recruiting Profile

I first fell in love with the game of soccer when I was 3 years old. We were playing the game Cowboys and Indians, from that moment on I knew soccer would always be my passion. Soccer has taught me that success is not easy and that it requires hard work. I learned at a very young age what it was like to have such an overwhelming passion. Playing soccer I realized that you should always play with a big heart, passion and an incredible drive to keep going.

When I join a team I hope to make a big impact immediately. Making a big impact to me is much more than being a stand out on the field. To me making a big impact is encouraging your team when you are down, pushing your teammates to do more-be better, to be a leader, positivity and of course being a stand out as well.

Academically, I hope to be able to show my best grades as well as showing my best work on the field. I think that I am a good addition to any team I join because of the incredible heart I carry for the game. I think that with any team I join I will always compete at a high level and play with the upmost passion I can have.
