Christina Hidalgo '16 Recruiting Profile

Bio:
Starting at the early age of 4, it was obvious that soccer was my calling. Fortunately for me, my dad is a licensed professional youth soccer trainer who has encouraged me to prepare for a higher level of play. My goal has been to compete at the highest level possible. Through years of commitment, loyalty, and dedication to the game, along with my inner strength and determination to succeed have helped me pull through the toughest and most stressful situations on the field or in the classroom. My education is the only priority that comes before soccer and my consistent, solid grades have proven that throughout my academic years. I aspire to play soccer in college while studying Medicine as my major because helping and treating people is something that I have always loved to do. My unique playing style on the field shows that I am a team player and can easily read the game by using my ambidextrous abilities to pass and create scoring opportunities for my teammates. The feeling of scoring is absolutely amazing, but nothing can beat the feeling of winning as a team. In order for me to always bring my “A” game, I strive to better myself by utilizing my time efficiently to become a well rounded athlete. I have dedicated myself to maintain a healthy diet as well as including additional work outs after practice into my daily routine so that I can one day compete at the professional level. The lessons I have learned as a competitor, both on and off the field, have shaped me into a stronger person both mentally and physically. These experiences have ultimately taught me how to achieve anything in life by setting goals, working hard and never giving up. Overall, I am a firm believer that practice does not make perfect, but instead, perfect practice makes perfect in anything we want to do.
